Biography

Sana Na N’Hada was born in Guinea-Bissau in 1950. Sent to Cuba by revolutionary leader Amilcar Cabral with four other apprentice filmmakers, he studied at the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Arts and Industries. On his return to Guinea, he filmed the war of independence. His cinema would subsequently take shape as he moved back and forth between the memory of the Portuguese occupation, the struggle for independence and a meditation on the destruction of traditional societies in Guinea-Bissau.
