Congo Oyé (We Have Come Back)

Congo Oyé presents a unique glimpse into the socio-political landscape of its time, focusing on the experiences and perspectives of Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver. As a documentary from 1971, it fits within a critical era of activism and cultural documentation. The film's incomplete status and the history surrounding its loss add layers of intrigue for collectors interested in rare and lesser-known works.
