Carlota, the MPLA soldier who died in 1975 fighting for Angola's independence

edit

Journalist Ryszard Kapuściński reported the 1975 struggles in Angola. The 2019 film made from Kapuściński's "Another Day of Life" reported a young MPLA soldier named "Carlota" who died during the fight against South Africa's invasion of Angola. The film included interviews with Carlota's contemporaries from 1975, recalling her. Is 1975's "Carlota" a real name and a coincidence? Or a fictionalization?
