A Casa (2017)

Born in Lisbon during the Fascist Regime in order to control students coming from the portuguese overseas colonies, the Casa Estudantes do Império, with delegations in Coimbra and Porto, was fundamental to the independence movements in the colonies. Through that meeting point passed future anti-colonial and national movement leaders such as Agostinho Neto and Amílcar Cabral. The House recovers memories and testimonies by some of its remaining survivors while also adapting to screen excerpts of Pepetela's novel "A Geração da Utopia".
