Escape from Luanda
Escape from Luanda
2007, English. Directed by Phil Grabsky & David Notman-Watt.
A war-ravaged past. A new hope for the future.
In Luanda, one of the world's poorest and most dangerous places, three students from Angola's only music school work towards their end-of-year concert. The Music School is Angola's first and only school of its kind. It houses some 80 students, most of them desperately poor. Many face disapproval and outright rejection from their families who can't see a future in music. This film asks if, despite the ravages of 27 years of civil war, musical passion can overcome terrible hardships.
