Poet, agricultural engineer and revolutionary Amílcar Cabral was one of the most influential anti-colonial leaders in history, uniting more than a million Guineans in the fight against Portuguese colonial rule, liberating three-quarters of Guinea-Bissau’s rural areas, and inspiring other African nations to rise up and claim their independence. The film reimagines Cabral’s inner voice on a personal and historical journey, blending previously unseen archival footage, Portuguese colonial films, and Guinean revolutionary footage with new 16mm images. A meditative visual diary that evokes both the public figure and the private man: the visionary leader and the thinker.
//////
Agronomo, poeta, rivoluzionario. Amílcar Cabral è stato uno dei leader anticoloniali più influenti di sempre, capace di unire più di un milione di guineani nella lotta contro il dominio coloniale portoghese, liberando tre quarti delle zone rurali della Guinea-Bissau e ispirando altre nazioni africane a insorgere e a rivendicare la propria indipendenza. Il film reimmagina la voce interiore di Cabral in un viaggio personale e storico, mescolando archivi inediti, film coloniali portoghesi e filmati rivoluzionari guineani con nuove immagini in 16 mm. Un diario visivo meditativo che evoca sia la figura pubblica che l’uomo privato: il leader visionario e il pensatore.
//////
Gedichte, Briefe, politische Schriften. Aus seinen eigenen Worten entsteht das essayistische Porträt Amílcar Cabrals, einer zentralen Figur der antikolonialen Befreiungsbewegungen in Guinea-Bissau und Kap Verde. Der Film folgt seinem Weg von den Studienjahren in Portugal bis zur Eskalation des bewaffneten Kampfes und macht Cabral selbst zur erzählerischen Instanz.
