Inspired and artistically designed with the fantastic Opus of Amilcar Cabral in mind, the goal of this documentary is to put his theories and ideas in the spotlight. Comparing his work with actual cultural and social issues, like the foreseen North-African revolutions, the countries who helped Cabral in his struggle are identified in this movie by Amilcar Cabral’s words that seemed to predict the actual facts.nThe goal of this movie is to spread Cabral’s words and wisdom and support the Cabralist concept of re-Africanisation of the spirit, recognised all around the world as a pillar of African emancipation.
This documentary is a mirror of African humanism and socio-cultural evolution and progress. nnA Documentary Trilogy: DECOMPOSITION OF THE STORY
