Our take
Filmmaker duo João Miller Guerra and Filipa Reis bring their skilled documentary eye to this semi-fictional road movie—a playful yet profound inquiry into Portugal’s colonial past that breaths with warm authenticity and irresistible music. Djon África might just be the anti-hero we need right now!
