GKIDS announced today that it has acquired North American distribution rights to Another Day of Life, a European co-production that premiered at last year’s Cannes Film Festival.The U.S. animation distributor will release the mature-themed film theatrically in 2019.
Directed by Raúl de la Fuente and Damian Nenow, the film uses motion capture-based cg animation, as well as live-action interviews and archival footage to tell a story based on the non-fiction book of the same title by Polish journalist Ryszard “Ricardo” Kapuściński.
Set in the African nation of Angola during a violent civil war following its independence from Portugal in 1975, Another Day of Life follows Kapuściński as he risks his life by driving into the heart of the conflict to find the isolated rebel leader Farrusco.
