Following a massacre in his village, 11-year-old orphan N’dala is airlifted to safety in Luanda, the capital of Angola. Rejecting help from the nuns who initially saved him, he warily relies on other street children as he transitions into life in a big city that proves to be as dangerous as his war-torn village. 2004, Angola, color, 35mm, in Portuguese with English subtitles, 88 minutes.
The September 22 screening will be introduced by Fernando Arenas, associate professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Minnesota.
