Flora Gomes’ debut feature is an epic and gripping meditation on revolution, following Diminga, the devoted wife of a wounded soldier, through Guinea-Bissau’s war of independence and its immediate postwar years. This new 4K restoration pays tribute to those who won independence and criticizes the failures of those who gained power.
