Maldoror’s first feature, Guns for Banta, was commissioned by the Algerian government to chronicle the Guinean and Cape Verdean fights for independence, but was never completed. In his fascinating essay film, Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc excavates the history of this lost film, drawing on photographs, documents, and conversations with Maldoror.
