Ana Sofia Fonseca is a natural storyteller. Born in Portugal, she lives with one foot in her home country and the other in Cabo Verde—she has a house two steps away from Cesária's house. ÉVORA is her second feature length documentary, following an award-winning 20 year career in journalism, in which she worked on over 20 television documentaries, and published five non-fiction books and a novel. For years, she has been dedicated herself to telling compelling stories with a focus on human rights themes—particularly stories about women rights and race issues.
