Les Oubliées (The forgotten women) is a 1996 documentary film directed by Anne-Laure Folly of Togo and shot in Angola.
It takes the form of interviews with the women of Angola, including the daughter of Sarah Maldoror and Ruth Neto.
The film explores the motives of the combatants, including Cuba and South Africa's apartheid government.
She shows the women from mid- or close-range, forcing the viewer to focus on their faces rather than their bodies or surroundings, and takes the time to let them say what they have to say, giving a unique women's perspective of the conflict.
[4] Folly participates in the film through her voice-over, giving a subjective element.
