Flats of Angola is a fictional film used as a reference in The World without Micah Gideon.

Perceived Synopsis
It was released in 2010 and is based in the African country of Angola. The film follows a crash-landed pilot, Elliot Finn, through an adventure in the country-side, filled with scantily clad tribesmen, run-ins with guerrilla forces, deadly encounters with wild animals and mouthfuls of self-realization. The movie can be considered a mash up of Blood Diamond and Cast Away. The cast includes top notch actor Micah Gideon.

Flats of Angola's Micah Gideon was nominated for an Oscar after his gut-wrenching portrayal of a Young American lost in the wilderness, struggling to stay alive.

Plot
Elliot is on a routine flight through Angola acquiring topographical data, but crash lands after gutting an oddly misguided albatross on his propeller. He does not sustain much injury aside from a severe case of nausea and bruises, and none of the plane's instruments work since the crash. He decides to make the trip back on foot because it will be weeks before they send out a team to find him... especially since he was using the only plane within 200 miles.

Hoping he's headed in the right direction, he has an interesting adventure while returning home. His first night is spent in the wreckage of the plane, but in complete fear because of all the animal noises. He awakens in the morning to find massive loads of shit surrounding the plane in a circle as if they had attempted to ward everyone away from the intrusive object. He decides he should leave immediately.

Under the cover of darkness on the second night he discovers a guerrilla camp. He attempts to steal some blankets and meager scraps, but one of the bandits catches him and he is locked in an outhouse until the next day. In the morning, they extract him from the foul prison and question him about his knowledge. They believe he is some sort of spy who is on a mission to undermine their cartel, and the best way to deal with him is to keep a watchful eye on their prisoner. The next night he escapes after discovering that the outhouse could only be locked from the inside, which they had obviously failed to think of.

The next day he continues to keep up a fast pace to ensure he won't see the guerrillas again, but this time he runs into some practically nude tribesmen playing a game of ball with their feet. He stumbles into their game and trips over the ball, kicking it into someone's face. At which point the other tribesmen headbutt the face'd tribesman to his death.

COOL STORY BRO.
