Lantanda

The Creole language is used daily by the majority of the population of Guinea Bissau. And yet, it doesn’t hold official language status. Musicians, writers and scholars of different generations explain through songs why they have chosen this language as an instrument to express their feelings and transmit the social reality of the country. Through their testimonies, the documentary offers a celebration of Guinea-Bissau’s ethnic diversity and cultures. An exceptional example of how a shared sense of collective identity can shape a relatively young nation such as Guinea-Bissau.
