Angola pumps more oil than most of Africa, yet the film opens in Luanda's sewers, where a group of boys who live there explain how they got there. "I'm eating rubbish, surrounded by others who are sniffing glue," one says. The film tracks where the oil money actually goes, citing calculations that roughly 9% of Angola's GDP is siphoned off into a government slush fund, and it gets the US ambassador on camera conceding that oil revenues are not reaching "the Angolan people." Ordinary Angolans interviewed here are open about their resentment, and the film follows that anger into the enclave of Cabinda, where a long-running separatist movement has turned frustration with corruption into armed conflict. Shot in the years after Angola's civil war ended, the film argues that unresolved graft, not renewed fighting, is the country's real risk, with more Angolans openly questioning where the oil wealth has gone and warning that the peace could still unravel.
