E’Ville

Welcome to “E’Ville”, short for Elisabethville until the city was renamed Lubumbashi in 1960. Filmmaker Nelson Makengo takes viewers on an introspective journey through the abandoned ruins of a Gécamines mining facility, set to the haunting soundtrack of Patrice Lumumba’s final letter to his wife Pauline, written shortly before his assassination in E’Ville.
