From 1961 to 1974, 100.000 young Portuguese men went to war in the ex-colonies. At the same time, another 100.000 left Portugal to avoid that same war. About the ones who made the war a lot has been said, written and filmed. About the others nothing has been said, it is a sort of taboo of our society.
What role did the men who "escaped the war" in the creation of the country we live in now? In what way did they resist?
If there is an image of the unknown soldier, this film tries to show that other unknown man who refused to be a soldier.

Letters from Angola is a voyage into a forgotten past where several stories intersect – that of Angolan-born filmmaker Dulce Fernandes and those of the Cubans who fought in the Angolan war.
A journey through today's Cuba, the film uncovers the lost connection to a land left behind and it's a poetic reflection on the fragile place of the individual in the midst of the tectonic movements of History.

50 years after its beginning, it's still a delicate and hermetic subject today, based on an exclusively male speech, as if veterans were war's only owners and victims. When a country is at war though, is there anybody left out?
Warriors is a generation's war movie, told by those who were left behind to wait, those who chose to be there and those who ran to rescue the soldiers from the battle's front lines. A female insight on war.
