Angela Aquereburu
Togolese film director
Angela Aquereburu (born 11 January 1977) is a Togolese screenwriter, film producer and film director.
Biography
Aquereburu was born in Togo to a mother from Guadeloupe. Interested in the arts from a young age, she was educated in Togo and Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe before moving to Paris to study at ESCP Business School. She earned a master's degree in entrepreneurship. Aquereburu married actor Jean-Luc Rabatel and worked in human resources for several years. In 2008, while vacationing in Togo, she realized that there were only soap operas on television, and together with her husband came up with the idea for a series about motorcycle taxis. The following year, Aquereburu and Rabatel moved to Lomé and founded the audiovisual production company Yobo Studios. Their idea of a taxi show formed the basis for Zem, a mini-series of 26 five-minute episodes, co-produced by Canal + Afrique.
Her next project was the short series Palabres. In 2017, she launched Hospital IT, which tackles societal problems like malaria and skin whitening and focuses on the characters Idriss and Tania.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
