Billed as the first feature film ever from Angola.

7.0(1)19701h 25m0

Guns for Banta is the first feature-length film by Sarah Maldoror. Shot in Guinea-Bissau, it follows the life and untimely death of Awa, a countrywoman involved in the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC). Financed by the Algerian army, which hoped to turn it into a propaganda tool, the film was confiscated from Maldoror because of her demands for full control over the editing. To this day the reels have not been identified or returned.
