"Those Whom Death Refused", is how the title of today's movie is often translater. Join us as we head to West Africa to discuss the 1988 war drama 'Mortu Nega' from Guinea-Bissau, directed by Flora Gomes and written by Gomes, Manuel Rambout Barcelos and David Lang. Set in the last months of the Guinea-Bissau War of Independence and first months of new-found freedom from Portuguese colonial rule, this incredible movie proved so much more than "just" a war film.
