- Summary:
- Based on a true story, Sarah Maldoror's revolutionary bombshell follows a young woman as she makes her way from the outskirts of Luanda toward the city's center looking for her husband after his arrest by the Portuguese authorities-an incident that will ultimately help to ignite a national uprising. Featuring a cast of nonprofessionals, this landmark work of political cinema honors the essential roles of women as it chronicles the awakening of Angola's independence movement
