The first documentary filmed entirely in High Definition in Mozabique is set to the background of the Cahora Bassa Dam, a co-production with the signatures of Conceptmedia SA and Papaia Produções from Maputo.

With footage also sourced in Lisbon, this film portrays the first anniversary of the Cahora Bassa Dam under Mozambican consolidated management.
A journey through the most significant moments of this grand scale project spanning half a century. A story told through the mouths of the engineers, workers and politicians of Mozambique and Portugal that are historically connected to Cahora Bassa.

This documentary is further enriched by the testimony of common citizens that were, at the time of the Dam building, connected to the liberation movement of Mozambique and followed its evolution closely, day to day, and that has left an absolute mark in the region, the country and the African continent.

Involving the participation of the historical arquives of Mozambique, the work presented, in itself an important addition to the documented collection of materials for Cahora Bassa, is to be shared with historians and investigators alike, as well as with the new generations that are moved by the desire for knowledge in all latitudes, as one of the most notable engineering works to have been carried out at a global scale in the 20th century.
