Sambizanga

This movie tells the story of the unwitting martyrdom of a simple truck driver who is picked up by the police on suspicion of being a revolutionary. This French/African film also shows the activities of the Angolan revolution in the Congo, and it was filmed in Brazzaville in 1972-73, in the midst of the actual revolution there. An unidentified African nation or nations picked up part of the tab for this production.
