Synopsis
Billy Woodberry, a central figure in the LA Rebellion movement of the 1970s-80s, offers an intimate portrait of Mário Pinto de Andrade (1928–1990), an influential Angolan intellectual, activist, and poet, who played a significant role in the pan-Africanist movement advocating for the sovereignty of African nations. Through a blend of interviews and extensive archival footage, the film invites viewers on a historiographical journey that transcends individual portrayal, weaving a network that connects crucial figures in cinema, the arts, and the struggle against colonial forces.
