Directed by Billy Woodberry • 2024 • France, Portugal
Director Billy Woodberry examines the life and legacy of Mário Pinto de Andrade, a Pan-African thinker, activist, and founder of the People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) whose work was critical to the African liberation movements of the 1960s and ’70s. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, Woodberry sheds light on a revolutionary figure whose legacy is evident in his analyses of African politics; his quest for a proper understanding of the origins of African identity; his poetry, plays, and screenplays; and in the memories of his family, friends, and disciples, who tell of his great spirit and rigorous mind.
