People of Angola || Short Film

Simon Lane spent three weeks capturing the people and places of Angola for Euronews, commissioned by the Angolan government.

In that time he discovered that Angola has spent most of my lifetime in a brutal civl war. The west African country lost an estimated 500,000 people across 27 years.

Simon Lane produced eight TV commercials to promote everything from tourism to trade. The scenes captured in this film did not fit into the TVC format so he decided to make an anthropological film.
