In January of 1961 upon hearing of the assassination of Patrice Lumumba,
Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and the Cuban revolutionary government,
reacted with alarm that this was the beginning of an attempt by western
imperialism to turn back the tide of African independence.

Shortly thereafter, Cuba began it's "African Odyssey", aiding various
African liberation movements by providing the necessary technical and
military assistance for Algeria, Guinea Bissau, Angola, Mozambique,
Namibia, and South Africa, made the difference between defeat and
victory.

One such victory was the battle of Cuito Carnavale by Angola's MPLA and
Cuban forces over the U.S. and Israeli-backed Apartheid South African
army.

A 2 hour documentary, produced in April of 2007 and never before seen in
the United States, CUBA! AFRICA! REVOLUTION!, is the most informed film
made to date about Cuba's heroic and unselfish contribution to the fight
against colonialism and racist oppression in Africa.

With rare footage of some of Africa's most prominent revolutionaries,
the film profiles the people who were at the center of bringing to an
end Western Europe's direct political domination over Africa.

Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Touré, Agostinho Neto, Samora Machel and Amilcar
Cabral, who's theoretical and revolutionary genius help set into motion
the demise of Portugal's colonial empire in Africa, are all seen
interfacing and planning with Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and other Cuban
revolutionaries.
