Abstract

To shoot A MEMORY IN THREE ACTS, former underground fighters for the independence movement return to the scenes of the horrors during the war, e.g. Vila Algarve in Maputo, where the Portuguese secret police PIDE interrogated and tortured countless resistance fights from the 1960s. Forty years later some of their victims face up to their fears. Their readiness to talk about their past experiences in front of the camera feels like trauma therapy.
