We will be screening this two-part documentary on two consecutive Wednesdays this month. During the Cold War, as African nations struggled for independence from European colonialism, revolutionary Cuba came to the aid of three countries: the Congo, Guinea-Bissau, and Angola. First Che Guevara came to the Congo with a small number of Cuban troops, and later in Angola thousands of Cubans came to fight against South African forces. Filled with first-hand accounts and period footage, this documentary is an excellent examination of South-South efforts to liberate themselves from First World imperialism.
