Mozambique’s film industry is tiny, but its two best-known dramas both look back at the country’s post-independence upheaval, one at a re-education camp, the other at a wartime trade caravan.
01 
02 A perilous wartime train journey across Mozambique becomes a lifeline for smuggled goods and desperate passengers.
03 An old man and an orphaned boy wandering a war-ravaged road find a dead man's diary that reshapes how they see their journey.
04 A young herder's prized ox wanders into a minefield left over from Mozambique's civil war.
05 Villagers stage an annual reenactment of a colonial-era massacre that helped ignite Mozambique's liberation war.
06 A UN investigator sent to probe a string of mysterious soldier deaths uncovers something beyond rational explanation.
07 A drought-stricken Mozambican community fractures over dwindling access to a single water source.
