Available for over a year

A daughter's fight to reclaim the remains of her father. Juliana Lumumba's father, Patrice Lumumba, was the first prime minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo and an anti-colonial hero. He was assassinated in 1961 when Juliana was five years old, and no trace of his body was found. So when it emerged 60 years later that one of his gold teeth was in Belgium, Juliana yearned to bring it home.
