...even serious efforts by European and North American filmmakers are governed by a cultural perspective that results in a fragmentary portrayal of a Latin American life. A film like State of Siege by Costa-Gavras, however urgent the moral questions it poses, so completely lacks a human, social context that its political presentation collapses in a lifeless vacuum. At the other extreme, a director like Marcel Ophuls is Black Orpheus is so adept at capturing the vibrant rhythm and undulating color of life in the slums of Rio de Janeiro that his audiences are numbed to the excruciating reality...

The junta wants to elevate Portuguese Guinea, Mozambique and Angola to membership in a multiracial federation in which the territories would be granted a measure of autonomy but not independence. This scheme satisfies neither the colonialists nor the colonials. General Francisco Costa Gomes, the armed forces commander in chief, made a sudden flying visit to Angola to reassure the 750,000 white settlers there that "Mother Portugal" would not abandon them.
