Escape from Luanda

Escape from Luanda was an inspiring story of people in poverty learning music and educating themselves because they wanted to be inspired. These students documented were all different ages. Two of the women featured in this documentary also have children and want to be inspired by and for them. One of the girls in the film did not have custody of her children and this experience at the musical school gave her inspiration. The documentary gave me a new outlook on the lifestyle in Luanda. Included in the film were the peoples family life which I felt was important to provoke the emotional aspect o the film. This made the audience feel a connection to the people of Luanda. They also experience a series of economic tribulations which the film incorporates well. It keeps your attention and completely wraps you into these people lives and you want to see what will happen to them.
