Doctor Jekyll

"Mário" recounts the life of Mário de Andrade, a pan-African intellectual, activist, diplomat, and poet who dedicated his entire life to the cause of building African nations. He ardently believed that independence from colonialism marked the beginning, not the end, of the struggle. From Paris, where he establishes his intellectual home, to independent Angola, Mário spends a life in exile, working and fighting tirelessly for African sovereignty.
