Virtual Documentary Night: Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat [Voting Night]

Online
Hosted by Vegan Social Clubs
**YOU MUST WATCH THE FILM ON YOUR OWN BEFORE THIS EVENT**
For this Virtual Documentary Night we have voted to talk about the documentary, [Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat](https://documentarynight.wordpress.com/2026/06/28/soundtrack-to-a-coup-detat/). Director Johan Grimonprez captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster that illuminates the political machinations behind the 1961 assassination of Congo’s leader Patrice Lumumba. Again, you must watch the film before attending this event. Here is a link to where you can watch the film for free.

This is a Voting Night, which means at the end of the night we brainstorm and vote to decide as a group what we will watch the following month, so please come ready with your recommendation. The only requirement is that the film must be available to watch online for free. If you need any ideas, you can search through the Flyers Page on the Community Documentary Night website. It is full of flyers based around certain themes and each flyer is full of documentary posters, which are hyperlinked to where you watch the films for free. Something to consider is that next month is August, which is Back to School Month. Check out the [Back To School Month](https://documentarynight.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/august-back-to-school-2025e.pdf) flyers if you're interested in recommending a film in honor of this holiday.
Again, you must watch the film on your own BEFORE the event. We will be meeting over Zoom, where we will break out into small discussion groups. We will do multiple rounds of small group discussion, then have a special guest Q&A, before closing out the night with a vote to decide what film we will watch the following month. The Zoom information is listed below.
