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?
