Njinga, Queen of Angola (Njinga, Rainha de Angola)
Dir. Sergio Graciano
Angola. 2013. 109min. Colour. Portuguese with English subtitles.
In 17th century Angola, a woman leads her kingdom in a 40-year struggle for freedom and independence. Her name is Njinga. She will be known as Queen Njinga. Born into a patriarchal society, Njinga defied tradition to become queen at the age of 50 with the aim of ensuring her people were kept safe from the Portuguese slave traders. A true story of unrivaled determination, Njinga stands today as a symbol of resistance, fully embodying the motto: “those who fight, fight to win”.
