    Film from each country: 🇸🇹São Tomé and Príncipe🇸🇹

    Really really well made doc about the Angolar residents of this country, taking particular focus into the fishing community.

    I cried throughout the film, as I’ve done with some films before, and I hid my head from her with a cushion between us, making sure…
