Six films about artists struggling for the future of their homelands, often facing persecution.
Mozambique. Malangatana is one of Africa's foremost artists. His paintings are symbols of hope in a country which in 26 years has known not one day of peace.
Through his paintings and through songs, drums and dance,
Malangatana tells the story of his country's struggle for independence, firstly against the colonial Portuguese and today against a bandit force, armed and controlled from South Africa. He shows at first hand the true costs of war, explains the importance of tradition and tells why, despite the devastation and his own growing international reputation as an artist, he has stayed there to work.
