So, 'The Forgotten Women' from 1997 is a raw look into the scars left on women in Angola after decades of conflict. It’s not just about the war's brutality; it's more like peeling back layers to reveal the hidden narratives of those who suffered - a stark reminder of how often their stories go untold. There's a haunting quality in the way it captures the everyday lives of women amidst chaos. The pacing can feel slow at times, but it’s purposeful, allowing you to sit with the weight of their experiences. The documentary also digs into international influences, like Cuba's involvement and the effects of South Africa's apartheid, which adds a broader context. It's a piece that sticks with you, challenging your views on war and gender.
