Guerilla Grannies plot

For ten years, three guerrilla girls in Mozambique risked their lives fighting for freedom and the right to self-determination after 500 years of Portuguese rule. Touched as she was by images of Monica, Amelia and Maria in a BBC film about this liberation war, Ike Bertels decided to visit these women and film them again. How would the ideals of the revolution contribute to a free Mozambique that had to completely reinvent itself? Twice Bertels reported on the reality of her three friends in young Mozambique. And now she made her third film with these strong women. How are her guerrilla grannies coping with a changing world in which their children and grandchildren must find their feet? As a grandmother, how do you deal with the old fire of the revolution in a 'globalized world'?
