Descrição

In recent years there has been increased interest in the debate regarding colonisation and the enduring negative consequences of the colonial wars. The subject, taboo for three decades, has now entered the Portuguese public sphere. Autobiographical documentaries that focus on the recent events of the post-colonial period allow for the analysis of the narratives of those who live and have lived “within and between cultures” - due to the processes of colonisation and enforced migration. This paper centres on the filmmaker, Diana Andringa, and the documentary "Dundo, Colonial Memory" (2009).
