The human testimony is undoubtedly the most engaging aspect of Another Day Of Life, but the animated sequences earn their place when they provide a sense of the emotional turmoil that Kapuscinski experienced as he faced the chaos and horrors of a war that would continue until 2002.

In Warsaw 1975, renowned reporter Ryszard Kapuscinski convinces his boss to send him to Angola, where a civil war has broken out on the eve of independence in the former Portuguese colony. His three-month journey through the war-torn country and the ever-changing front lines change his life forever.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
It uses animation to depict a conflict in fresh dimensions.
The Hollywood Reporter by Jonathan Holland
It cannily draws its various strands together into a visually striking piece of rare immediacy and power.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
The artfully kaleidoscopic nightmare of a collapsed state has rarely been so imaginatively portrayed. The unintentionally awkward moments come from a few of the more overwrought voice-over performances, in conjunction with the often-pinched rendering of human faces.
