It focuses on the protest by Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach at the UN Security Council regarding that assassination. Through eyewitness accounts; declassified government memos; and testimonies from mercenaries, CIA operatives, and jazz legends, the film presents a historical narrative that interrogates colonial history and offers a reflection on the geopolitical echoes that reverberate today.
