Based on a short novel by\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Luandino Vieira<\/a>,\u00a0A Vida Verdadeira de Domingos Xavier<\/em>\/The Real Life of Domingos Xavier<\/em>, the film follows the search by Xavier\u2019s wife to find the Angolan rebel leader who is arrested, imprisoned and tortured by the Portuguese. Through Maria\u2019s perspective, the film gives tribute to the heroic actions of Xavier who refuses to betray his comrades-in-resistance, and to those who committed themselves to fight in the liberation struggle. The film ends with the MPLA (Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola) attack on the notorious prison of Sambizanga, Luanda in 1961, which marked the beginning of co-ordinated armed uprising in the ensuing war for independence from Portuguese colonial rule.<\/p>\n [\/accordion][accordion title=”\u00a018 October 2014, 10 am -4.30 pm” name=””]<\/p>\n A day event at Birkbeck:\u00a0<\/strong>Pan-African Cinema, N\u00e9gritude and the Archive<\/strong><\/p>\n A one-day international roundtable on the significance of the June Givanni Pan-African Cinema Archive\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
