My Heart of Darkness
''My Heart of Darkness'' is a Swedish–German 2010 documentary film about four ex-soldiers from different sides of the Angolan civil war and their posttraumatic stress disorder. The film was recorded in 2007. It was first shown at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam on November 20, 2010. It premiered in Sweden on April 8 the next year. The title of the film is a reference to Joseph Conrad's novella ''Heart of Darkness''.〔 The film, like the novella, takes place on a boat traveling up an African river, and covers issues of tragedy and abuse.
The four ex-soldiers do not all speak the same language, but translate for each other. The narrator Marius van Niekerk, who is also the film's director and lead character, speaks English, while the others speak Portuguese and Afrikaans.
== Story ==
In 1979, during the Apartheid, 17-year-old white South African Marius van Niekerk was enlisted in the army. He was placed as a paratrooper in Angola as part of South Africa's foreign intervention and as support to the anti-communist UNITA guerilla. In 1985 he moved to Sweden, where he suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder. He now returns to Angola to make peace with his past. Together with three other war veterans, black Africans Samuel Machado Amaru, Patrick Johannes and Mario Mahonga, he travels up the river Cuando to the place of one of the last proxy war scenes of the Cold War.
During the trip, mostly in the light of campfires, Marius shares his memories of the war and the crimes he witnessed, and also the nightmares, alcoholism and assault that followed him after the war. He invites the others the tell their sides of the story. The films ends with the four participating in a purification ritual where they, among other things, burn Samuel's uniform and Marius's photos from the war.
