In this episode, we follow the haunting, lived experience of a Congolese rubber worker during King Leopold II’s brutal reign over the Congo Free State. Through quiet, immersive storytelling, we trace the daily horrors of forced labor, mutilation, starvation, and spiritual collapse — all in service of wealth that was never theirs.This is not a tale of rebellion or glory. It’s a record of what it cost to survive. Of what it meant to be erased — slowly, efficiently, and absolutely.#DarkHistory #SleepStory #Colonialism #KingLeopold #Congo #HistoricalNarration #HistoryForSleep #Imperialism #YouWouldn’tSurvive #BrutalHistory
