Stories from Goa and Mozambique

NT BUZZ

Sunaparanta in collaboration with Lotus Film and TV Production (Goa), Real Ficção (Portugal) and Communicare recently held a screening of the documentary film ‘Special Envoy’ and a photo exhibition ‘Through My Lens’ at Sunaparanta – Goa Centre for the Arts, Altinho, Panaji.

The photo exhibition was curated by Nalini Elvino de Sousa, and featured photographs of the two cameramen, John Lino (Goa) and Emidio Josine (Mozambique), who worked in the production phase of `Special Envoy’.

The documentary is a tribute to the Aquino de Braganza in Mozambique who played a key role in the freedom struggle of the colony.

It brings to light the inspiring yet unknown mission of Aquino whose life is cut short in the Mozambican presidential plane crash in 1986.

As July 18 was also the 100th birthday of Nelson Mandela, a cake was cut as a remembrance of his efforts.
