AMÍLCAR

Agronomist, poet, utopian thinker and revolutionary Amílcar Cabral is often referred to as the African Che Guevara. Cabral led the anti-colonial movement against Portuguese colonialism in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde until his murder in 1973. Human rights, utopias, interracial love, ambition, war and betrayal are the ingredients of this free portrait crafted with archival images and an imaginary diary shot on 16mm film. A cinematic documentary, AMÍLCAR expresses all the modernity of Cabral’s world vision. (Note adapted from IN PERSPECTIVE.) Official Selection, 2025 IDFA and 2026 Doc Fortnight film festivals.
