During the colonial era, Nyanga was kidnapped off the coast of Africa, brought to Mexico and enslaved. His greatest wish was to escape and return home, but instead he was sold on the slave market and forced to work on his master’s plantation. Even so, he never stopped thinking about freedom. How does one resist and survive under inhuman conditions? It was through a dream that he was called upon to organize an insurrection and prepare the escape by which he and the other slaves did not get back home, but did regain the freedom that allowed them to put down roots in new lands. Based on historical fact, and using shadow theater and handmade cinema, ‘Nyanga’ is an homage to resistance against colonial chains and an acknowledgment of those who constantly struggle for life.
在殖民时代,尼扬加在非洲海岸被绑架,后被带到墨西哥并遭受奴役。他最大的愿望是逃脱并回到家乡,但他却在奴隶市场上被卖掉,被迫在主人的种植园里工作。即便如此,他从未停止对自由的思考。在非人道条件下,一个人如何抵抗和生存?在一场梦境种,他受到召唤,要组织一场起义,并准备逃亡。通过这次逃亡,他和其他奴隶虽然没有回到家乡,但却重新获得了自由,使他们在新的土地上扎下了根。基于历史事实,借助影子剧场和手工电影,该片是对冲破殖民枷锁的致敬,也是对那些不断为生命而奋斗的人的认可。
