75 minutes

On 16 June 1960 in Mueda, Mozambique, the Portuguese army executed six hundred inhabitants on the orders of the Portuguese governor. Since the country’s independence, Mueda’s residents relive this event each year in a theatrical re-enactment, playing the roles of the assassins, victims and spectators. This film sets a historical landmark in the cinematic memory of decolonisation and the Mozambican people’s grieving process.
