One Day I Saw 10,000 Elephants

Directed by Juan Pajares

A comic book historical novel with the feel of a cartoon film documentary

The octogenarian Angono Mba recalls the expedition in which he worked as porter for the Spanish filmmaker Manuel Hernández Sanjuán who, between 1944 and 1946, traveled through Spanish Guinea documenting life in the colony as he obsessively searched for a mysterious lake.
