Special Envoy – On Aquino de Bragança’s life and his friendship with Samora Machel
Special Envoy is a quest to bring to light the inspiring yet unknown mission of an Indian whose life is cut short in the Mozambican presidential plane crash in 1986.
Very subtly the story builds up to a point where the chess pieces metamorphose into real life characters. The life story of Aquino de Bragança and his bond with Samora Machel are magnetically drawn onto the chess table till the final checkmate dictates its end.
This movie is a tribute to the dauntless Spirit of Aquino de Bragança and all those who continue fighting for equality and peace.
Special Envoy is a quest to bring to light the friendship between Aquino de Bragança – an Indian intellectual and journalist and Samora Machel – a male nurse who was to be the first president of his country. Their friendship is sealed tragically by a plane crash on 19th October 1986.
Aquino de Bragança had an aim: to fight against colonialism and help Goa and all African countries to obtain independence and peace. (Nalini Elvino de Sousa)
