The story of the Belgian Congo is a good place to start in understanding the sad beginning of this sad tale...I recommend, KING LEOPOLD'S GHOST (Adam Hochschild)

There are also a couple of good movies - my favorite is Lumumba It's possible to also find the entire movie (and others and/or documentaries or actual footage) on YouTube...But for starters, here's a trailer of the Belgian made movie which I thought was very fine.
