Title: So this is what Angolans fought so hard for?
Product review: This film is about a war veteran's struggle to find work, dignity, and a new life in post-war Angola. As a former military hero, Vitorio's former dreams of a fair and just country prove elusive in present day Luanda. Fellow citizens show little veneration for this once-great commander now without a leg and homeless. However, throughout his hardships circumstances begin to change and he slowly finds hope and comfort through some individuals.If interested in Lusophone African countries this film is a must see. The war in Angola, pre and post independence, was one of the bloodiest in Africa. This film gives great insight of the lives of most Angolans- a life void of the luxury and decadence of the ruling class.Related films- Cuban African Odyssey (a documentary must see to understanding the modern Angola and the Cold War in Africa)Cuba: An African Odyssey
