ABSTRACT

Portugal, in an attempt to retain its colonial possession of Guiné, fought a war there between 1961 and 1974. The opposition nationalist movement, known by its acronym PAIGC, sought to establish “liberated zones” within the difficult terrain of the more remote regions of the colony and service these from its immediate neighbour Guinea-Conakry, which had given it sanctuary. The PAIGC hosted its aid donors on carefully staged visits to these zones in an attempt to provide a picture of success in its “people's war.” The Swedish government, its primary non-military donor, decided to create a propaganda film featuring “heroic PAIGC freedom fighters” in action in one of these zones. This is the story of a well-intentioned yet naïve Swedish government effort at film-making and its largely misplaced aid in the face of the serious Portuguese air threat to PAIGC liberated zones.

Sangonhá:1969 年 1 月出现问题的 PAIGC“解放区”

摘要

1961 年至 1974 年,葡萄牙为了保留其对几内亚的殖民领地,在那里进行了一场战争。反对派民族主义运动,以其首字母缩写 PAIGC 着称,试图在葡萄牙更偏远地区的困难地形中建立“解放区”。殖民地并从它的近邻几内亚科纳克里提供服务,这给了它避难所。PAIGC 接待其援助捐助者对这些地区进行了精心安排的访问,试图展示其“人民战争”的成功图景。瑞典政府是其主要的非军事捐助者,它决定制作一部宣传片,以在其中一个地区行动的“英勇的 PAIGC 自由战士”为主角。
