Black Jesus (Italian: Seduto alla sua destra, lit. "Sitting to his right") is a 1968 Italian drama film co-written and directed by Valerio Zurlini and starring Woody Strode. It is inspired by the final days of the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Patrice Lumumba. It was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival,[1] but the festival was cancelled due to the May 1968 events in France.
