On the soundtrack, poet Marie Paule Mugeni reads a speech prepared for the day on which the colonial statue of King Leopold II will be definitively removed. In the images, the massive anti-racist demonstrations that took place in Brussels almost achieve her dream. A reflection by Collectif Faire-Part on how past, present and future are interwoven in each one of our acts.
