Trenton IFF Death Metal Angola
Death Metal Angola
US/Angola, 2013, 90 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles.
This inspiring film documents the efforts of a handful of passionate and tireless young Angolans to energize their weary, war-torn community by mounting a death-metal concert. The film focuses on Sonia Ferreira and Wilker Flores, who run an orphanage in Huambo, a city whose residents still suffer greatly from the legacy of the civil war that devastated Angola until 2002. Devoting themselves body and soul to their orphanage, Ferreira and Flores are also fans of hardcore rock and roll. Perceiving the proliferation of Angolan death-metal bands (whose members find the genre a perfect vessel for constructively expressing the anger and frustration they feel in the wake of the civil war), and the need for a cultural event that will bring a sense of unity and excitement to the city, they set about organizing a concert that will bring all these bands together. Documenting their efforts, in the face of daunting obstacles, to bring the concert off, DEATH METAL ANGOLA is both a rousing concert film and a revealing portrait of modern-day Angola.
