- Summary:
- From Billy Woodberry, Mário follows the story and legacy of Mário Pinto de Andrade, founder of the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), Pan-African thinker and activist whose critical mission within the African liberation movements of the 60's and 70's laid the groundwork for the identity and representation of the newly formed African nations after European colonization. The legacy of Mário Pinto de Andrade is evident in the rich archive of his socio-economic analysis of modern African affairs, his quest for a proper understanding of the origins of identity in Africa, his poetry, plays and screenplays, and in the memories of his family, friends and disciples, who tell of his great spirit and rigorous mind, and universally, of a deep admiration from all those who encountered him
