    I think there’s a Behind the Bastards episode on this too.

      There sure is!!

      https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-king-leopold-ii-the-29443475/

      If you’re more of a textual person, one of the main sources for that episode is King Leopold’s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa.
