Imagination: Escape From Luanda

In Luanda, one of the world's poorest and most dangerous places, three music students work towards their end-of-year concert.

Many of the students face disapproval and outright rejection from their families who can't see a future in music. This award-winning documentary asks if, despite the ravages of 27 years of civil war, musical passion can overcome terrible hardships.
