This Hybrid film is inspired by the spirit and person of Kmêdeus. A street lunatic from Mindelo. The direct translation of his name is "Eat God". Respected by many fishermen, writers, great public figures and mainly by the artists of the island.

A conversation with director Nuno Miranda; moderated by Imagine Science Programming Coordinator Wangechi Ngugi will take place at 10AM EDT on Dec 18 and be available here.
