The Year of the Cannibals (1970)

In the heart of a sprawling metropolis, the streets are haunted by lifeless bodies, an eerie spectacle that the populace disturbingly seems to be blind to. The grim tableau is a calculated act by the authorities, intending to use the fallen victims of rebellion as a stark deterrent. Among this apathy and fear, Antigone emerges, determined to provide a decent burial for her brother. In her quest, she forms an unlikely alliance with a young foreigner, a stranger who speaks in tongues yet shares her defiance. Together, they challenge the status quo, daring to give the dead their due respect. Their actions are not without consequence as they are ultimately discovered and meet a tragic end. Yet, their audacious act ignites a spark among the city's youth, who are inspired to rise against the authority's repression. They take to the streets, resolute in continuing the mission of their fallen predecessors, burying the dead and breathing life into a city choked with fear. The Year of the Cannibals is a poignant tale of rebellion and resilience, a testament to the power of unity even in the face of death.
