If anyone has netflix, there is this movie, "Siege of Jadotville", I had no idea about this. It occurred in DR Congo/Zaire (Congo Crisis) back in the day, 1961... and I can't speak for how accurate the movie is but it has the plane crash that killed Hammarskjold in the movie. Fascinating....
Per the movie, how many here know that Irish troops went to Congo as UN soldiers back in 1961 (and maybe earlier)?? We seem to have a number of posters from the UK and maybe Ireland too, so some might find this fascinating.
The Siege of Jadotville is a 2016 action-war film directed by Richie Smyth[2] and written by Kevin Brodbin. An Irish-South African production, the film is based on Declan Power's book, The Siege at Jadotville: The Irish Army's Forgotten Battle (2005), about an Irish Army unit's role in the UN peacekeeping mission in the Congo in September 1961.[3]

Regular wikipedia article on event itself:

Movie trailer:
I'd recommend it and... there is also a movie of Patrice Lumumba one can see on youtube, well made movie in the French language, Lumumba was murdered in January 1961:

And you know, the uranium that went into the atom bombs dropped on Japan in the war, that uranium came from Congo, there was a book that came out, "Spies in the Congo" or something, the Germans were allegedly also trying to get uranium from there.
But that "Siege" movie, I can't recommend it highly enough.
