Le rôle des femmes angolaises dans la reconstruction d'un pays détruit par la guerre.
Les femmes angolaises sont rarement audibles pour décrire l'impact de la guerre non déclarée de l'Afrique du Sud contre leur pays. Ce documentaire émouvant, réalisé en collaboration avec l'Organisation des femmes angolaises (OMA), souligne la contribution des femmes à la reconstruction d'un pays où la guerre a consommé plus de la moitié du budget national et produit au moins un million de réfugiés internes.

estrelado / starring / avec :
Membres de l'OMA (Organisation des femmes angolaises), Linton Kwesi Johnson

NOTE BY THE FILMMAKER:
"Angola: South Africa's Dirty War" [is] a half-hour for "Bandung File" [Channel 4, UK] about the havoc wreaked in post-independence Angola by apartheid South Africa and its proxies.
I made a longer version, "Angola é a Nossa Terra" [for Channel 4], that is still distributed by Women Make Movies in the US.
My blog, "On the Road in Angola", tells some of the stories of this shoot.
[...]
When Marga Holness, press secretary in the Angolan embassy in London, translator into English of the poetry of first Angolan president Agostinho Neto, proposed a co-production with TPA and the women's organisation, OMA, I leapt at the chance. The Channel 4 programme Bandung File, edited by Tariq Ali, Darcus Howe and Greg Lanning, leapt at the chance. Darcus wanted a critique of the MPLA, and sent the poet Linton Kwesi Johnson with us to report it (this would always have been tricky to do, given the nature of the co-production, the fact they had no relevant contacts, and that I didn't want to). In any case, by the time Linton had to leave, we'd barely managed to film anything. We were competing for camera use with the whole of TPA, and it also took several weeks to rustle up some transport. A 4×4 whose brakes weren't working? Fine, I said. (Two dead ends and you still got to choose.)
