'Black Africa White Marble' is a gripping, real-life David-and-Goliath thriller told with an innovative blend of animation, puppetry, archive materials, and original footage (shot in Congo, Gabon and Italy). When the president of the Republic of Congo decides to transfer the remains of the pacifist explorer Pietro Brazza to a multi-million dollar mausoleum in the impoverished capital of Brazzaville, one woman stands in his way. Writer Idanna Pucci discovers an insidious hidden agenda behind the plan. Violence, corruption and skulduggery lie at the heart of the matter as she battles to save Congo's great spiritual leader King Makoko and defend the ideals of her ancestor. The film sheds harsh light on Central Africa's colonial past and its corrupt present.—Anonymous
