Description
Shows the human face of Angola at a critical juncture in its history. Jonas Savimbi, leader of the rebel movement UNITA, was killed in February 2002. UNITA collapsed, giving Angola its first extended period of peace, since the nationalist uprising against Portuguese rule in the 1960s. This is a story of the extremes of the human condition.
