Ana Sofia Fonseca

Directora

Ana Sofia Fonseca is a natural storyteller. Born in Portugal, she has one foot in her home country and the other in Cabo Verde—she has a house two steps away from Cesária's house. Cesária 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 dedicated herself to telling compelling stories with a focus on human rights —particularly stories about women’s rights and race issues.
