Amilcar (LUXFILMFEST)
Agronomist, poet and utopian thinker, Amílcar Cabral was the leader of the anti-colonialist movement against Portugal in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde until his assassination in 1973. Miguel Eek’s 16mm documentary about him draws on previously unseen archives and an imaginary diary inspired by Cabral’s personal writings.

A film that also bravely explores themes of interracial love, ambition, terror and betrayal. In collaboration with neimënster
