Totems and Taboos backdrop

Totems and Taboos 2018 Directed by Daniel Cattier Totems et Tabous

Recalling Belgium's brutal colonial history

In Brussels, Belgium, the Royal Museum of Central Africa is undertaking a radical renovation, both physical and ethical, to show with sincerity, crudeness and open-mindedness the reality of the atrocities perpetrated against the inhabitants of the Belgian colonies in Africa, still haunted and traumatized by the ghost of King Leopold II of Belgium, a racist and genocidal tyrant.
