7PM: WHITE KING, RED RUBBER, BLACK DEATH (2003, 84 mins) describes how King Leopold II of Belgium turned Congo into its private colony (1885 – 1908). The African state became a gulag labor camp of shocking brutality. Families were held as hostages, starving to death if the men failed to produce enough wild rubber. Children's hands were chopped off as punishment for late deliveries. The Belgian government has denounced this film as a "tendentious diatribe" for depicting Leopold II as the moral forebear of Hitler, responsible for the death of 10 million people. Yet, it is agreed today that the first Human Rights movement was spurred by what happened there.
