Film movie scripts & screenplays

Among today's leading filmmakers, none brings to the screen such a deep awareness of how power is channeled from First to Third World societies, or exhibits such great human sensitivity, as Raoul Peck. Collected here for the first time are Peck's three early feature and documentary screenplays as well as his seminal film Lumumba.

In this collection of screenplays are Raoul Peck's award-winning pair of films that cemented the director's place in the internationalist cinema canon-the documentary Lumumba- Death of Prophet and the 2000 feature film Lumumba-about the life and assassination of Republic of Congo Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. Also included are Raoul Peck's first feature, Haitian Corner-set during the last, violent breaths of Haiti's Duvalier regime-which asserted a Haitian Creole identity in Brooklyn in the 1980s, and The Man by the Shore, the first Haitian film ever to be screened in theaters in the United States and the first Caribbean film ever entered into competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Each film presented includes introductions by the author, production stills, storyboards, and poster art.

Reviews for Stolen Images: Lumumba and the Early Films of Raoul Peck

“Raoul Peck tells the story of the African freedom fighter Patrice Lumumba with fire and grace.” –Michael Agger “[In Haitian Corner] Peck succeeds admirably with very little detail to make us feel this strange world, this sense of isolation. One thinks of the early films of John Cassavetes.” –Wilfried Wiegan, Frankfurter Allgmeine “[Peck is] a filmmaker with a fine eye for people and landscapes.” –The New York Times
