Angola Janga is a Brazilian epic that takes us into a landscape of dreams and struggle, resistance and defiance, hope and freedom.

At its center is Soares, a formerly enslaved warrior who, in his quest for freedom and dignity, crosses paths with unforgettable historical figures such as the maroon leaders Gana Zumba and Acá Inene, as well as the legendary Zumbi and his wife Dandara.

We come to know those who lived through this pivotal moment in an unprecedented way—through their voices, feelings, and thoughts, with all their depths, strengths, traits, and contradictions.

In a world where the central word is “survival,” not everyone is heroic or altruistic. As in the timeless adventures of world literature, it is through the individual choices of leaders and the anonymous alike that stories and struggles emerge—from inner conflicts to the bloody battles fought between armies of the enslaved and the colonizers.
