Actor Diogo Nobre is one of the protagonists of the film “Nação Valente” by Carlos Conceição. The second feature film by the Portuguese-Angolan director produced by Terratreme Filmes, reflects on the end of Portuguese colonialism and the traumas of the post-war period. The story takes place in two temporal moments, at the end of the colonial war, crossing two realities: that of independence groups, who claim their territories, and that of Portuguese soldiers, still anchored in the nationalist ideals of defense of the Homeland. “Nação Valente” is a co-production between Portugal, Angola and France and had its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival where it won two awards: Junior Jury Award and Europa Cinemas Label Award.
