SYNOPSIS
In the Greater Lisbon area, the name Cova da Moura has never been synonymous with well-being, education, or prosperity. On the contrary, it has always been associated with the idea of violence, insecurity, danger, or, at best, a lack of education or simply poverty. COVA DA MOURA ISLAND follows the daily life of this neighborhood, discovering within it reflections of Cape Verde and exploring the ways in which social exclusion is fought or perpetuated in the lives of its residents.
