After some four months of travel towards Belgium, they are exhibited before a million visitors. Subjected to the crushing gaze of the \"Whites\" and the cold climate, many fell prey to disease and even some lost their lives. The dead were hastily dispatched in a common grave, sparking a fierce debate in Belgian society. The project was overblown, but necessary in the eyes of the first colonizers, who presumed to have tamed the far-flung savages. One hundred years later, Congolese compatriots return to the scene of these events and question the \"Whites\" of today on the incredible story of that \"human zoo\". They carry out the ritual of \"a return to the earth\" by way of reparation for too great a hurt… A film that revisits a century of stereotyped conceptions about the Africans.

Under his control, Congo became a gulag labor camp of shocking brutality. Leopold posed as the protector of Africans fleeing Arab slave-traders but, in reality, he carved out an empire based on terror to harvest rubber. Families were held as hostages, starving to death if the men failed to produce enough wild rubber. Children's hands were chopped off as punishment for late deliveries. The Belgian government has denounced this documentary as a \"tendentious diatribe\" for depicting King Leopold II as the moral forebear of Adolf Hitler, responsible for the death of 10 million people in his rapacious exploitation of the Congo.

After some four months of travel towards Belgium, they are exhibited before a million visitors. Subjected to the crushing gaze of the \"Whites\" and the cold climate, many fell prey to disease and even some lost their lives. The dead were hastily dispatched in a common grave, sparking a fierce debate in Belgian society. The project was overblown, but necessary in the eyes of the first colonizers, who presumed to have tamed the far-flung savages. One hundred years later, Congolese compatriots return to the scene of these events and question the \"Whites\" of today on the incredible story of that \"human zoo\". They carry out the ritual of \"a return to the earth\" by way of reparation for too great a hurt… A film that revisits a century of stereotyped conceptions about the Africans.

I started talking with migrants, hearing their experiences. There was this moving story of epic proportions happening right in front of me. It was just important to find the right angle to tell it.” As the migrant crisis grew, many locals promulgated paranoid fears that migrants would take over European culture by imposing their own. “National identity and national heritage are touchy subjects in my country,” says Arsenijević. “So, it occurred to me: what if I replace Serbian national heroes with contemporary African migrants?
