Nyanga
2023 | Color | 20:16

During the colonial era, Nyanga was kidnapped off the coast of Africa, brought to Mexico and enslaved. Though forced to work on the master's plantation, he never stopped dreaming of freedom.

Based on historical fact, and using shadow theater and hand made cinema, ‘Nyanga’ is an homage to resistance against colonial chains.
