He who isn’t with me is against me. This thinly‑disguised biography follows Lalubi, a Christ‑like figure based on Patrice Lumumba, as he leads his people in passive resistance against a dictatorial regime supported by European colonizers. Lalubi is arrested, tortured, and shares a prison cell with a thief whose worldview changes through their encounters.
