The analysis of accounts presented in the documentary “Retornados ou os Restos do Império” (Returnees or the Remains of the Empire) will allow us to observe the images which represent Africa in the memory of those who left Angola after the end of the colonial war. The study of snippets from the documentary will allow the reflection on the various analysis possibilities in this study with a cinematic work. It will also highlight the relationship between the film and the context in which it was produced, in order to recall the event which brought to Portugal thousands of people who were running away from the war between the liberation movements in Angola. The documentary in question works with interviewees’ emotions using images which represent the reason for the exit from Angola and showing scenes that dialog with the spectator about the memory they possess about the recent past.
Keywords: Angola, documentary, returnees, memory.
