Kangamba

1. How does the film, Kangamba, show Cuban internationalism in Angola?

I think the film showed the Cuban internationalism in Angola not only in the armed struggle and the abolishment of the apartheid and their racisms governments, but also how Cuba given to Angola humanitarian help, for example, medical care for the citizens of this country, food and also the cuban’s soldiers made houses for the people. The relation between this two countries is good and strong in the movie as the history said.

2. What was the most impactful scene for you? Why?

Maybe the most impactful scene for me was the part when somebody of the Unita's army shoted against to a soldier of MPLA or the Cuban army, this caused to him the lost of their both eyes, that means he can’t see anymore, but to this man nothing matters except the liberation of Angola, and he continued fighting even when others soldiers said to him that he can’t manipulate a gun. That was shocked for me, because for him the pain and the fact to lose both eyes doesn't matter if they win against to the Unita’s army.

3. What was something you like and something you disliked about the film? Why?

I like the feeling of protect other no matter their nationality or the colour of their skin, I really like how the film showed the cuban’s army in Angola, because that was the intention of the director, demonstrate  the union between countries in all the world, specially from the perspective of communism.

I know the movie wasn’t new or modern, but I not liked the special effects, in fact they made me laugh in the middle of the movie, and I think that wasn’t correct, because this is not a comedy, this is representation of a moment in history and it is very important for the struggle against to the apartheid and the racism.
