I have always kept a very...VERY open mind to life occurrences and as such, I am surprised by nothing. I am also an ex DJ with an equal passion for Soul and Rock Music. I could have been almost surprised by this finding if it was not for the old saying, I believe greatly in, that "Anything is Possible"!

There are only (to date in my life) 3 styles of music that I cannot bear to listen to and they are, Opera (the most awful sound that makes wailing cats sound tuneful),99% of all Latino music styles; an odd one here and there I will like; though I like classical flamenco...as in the style of Manitas de Plata). The final dislike is Death Metal (which I put in the same ilk as Thrash Metal).

That said! It was right at home thousands of miles away in the African country of Angola. A country that was engaged in some form of war for over 30 years (and I have always put the blame for it squarely on the shoulders of the west; as I also do for the Congo and most of the troubles caused in African Countries. States) but was coming together through Death Metal. The people involved with the movement are all held in the highest respect from me. I have been at war with the way of the world for many decades and its only when I see relatively unknown work like this, that I am reminded that the world still has pockets of good people scattered around it here and there!

Most of you will not like the music (I still can't bring myself to recognize giving Death Metal/Thrash the title of music...lol) but, you will be knocked sideways by the pure love they have for each other and their country; and how they want to desperately heal the country's population.

A big thank you to the director, Jeremy Xido (whom I have never heard of before) and his wonderful production on such a limited budget!

This excellent documentary joins a long and hallowed list of behind-the-scenes documentaries about rock concerts. And what a rock concert. This one, uniquely, catches the spirit of Angola through the staging of a Death Metal concert. I deeply enjoyed both the characters and the wholly unexpected scenario. The film had its slack moments in the middle, but the end is well worth waiting for. It just goes to show what you can do with a talented filmmaker and a shoestring. Would love to know the genesis of this film It is hard to imagine how the director found the story. Clearly he has a good eye for the unexpected and is fast on his feet when opportunity knocks. (Perhaps not so surprising as he is also a professional dancer.) Rock on.
