ZA 2005, Regie: Richard Pakleppa, OmU, 65 min. Synopsis Angola - Saudades From the One Who Loves You is a haunting portrait of a country full of contrasts -- between the poor and the rich, between despair and hope. In 1975, Angola achieved independence but a civil war between the former independence movement, MPLA, which formed the government, and UNITA raged until 2002 and destroyed political and societal structures. Five years after the signing of the Luena Protocol, there is officially peace in the country. But although Angola is one of Africa's biggest producers of oil and diamonds, the 27-year-long civil war has left its marks -- insufficient water and food, a damaged infrastructure and a languishing economy. Anyone who describes the reality of Angola risks his life. Despite the riches from oil and diamonds, most Angolans live in misery.
