Pioneering director Sarah Maldoror presents a revolutionary bombshell–an electrifying chronicle of Angola’s awakening independence movement and a stirring hymn to those who risked everything in the fight for freedom. Based on the novella The Real Life of Domingos Xavier by José Luandino Vieira, Sambizanga follows the young resistance leader whose arrest by the Portuguese authorities helps ignite an anti-colonialist uprising and leads his determined wife Maria on an epic journey by foot to save him. Underscored by the language of revolution and the spiritual songs of the Angolan villagers, this landmark work of political cinema stands apart for the way that it honors both the courage of and hardships endured by women in the global struggle for liberation.
