“Povo e Poder portrays a people at a decisive moment in its history: the 2024 presidential elections in Mozambique, a country that has recently celebrated five decades of independence. In a campaign marked by tension, the film reveals a deep political crisis, with FRELIMO, in power since 1975, losing the trust of a population increasingly disillusioned by inequality, corruption and the lack of freedom of expression. In a direct cinema style, we travel across the country, giving voice to the people and listening to their thoughts on the present and their expectations for the future.” Ico Costa
