À quand l'Afrique ?

"A fresco of faces and voices. An insider’s evocation of his home, his country, his continent. Poetic images clash with harsh reality, joy turns to sorrow, beauty crumbles to plastic dust. The people of the forest stamp to the beat of the tom-tom; those of the city spin in the winds of “progress”. Meanwhile, things are breaking down. A new frenzy has come to play havoc and snatch the bounty from beneath their feet and from the verdant thickets all around them that still teem with life. À quand l’Afrique ? the voices valiantly ask, keeping the chant alive as they seek a new light while others sink into their graves. And it is always the voice of Africa itself that is heard. The emotion remains strong – one of passionate concern from Africans believing in and struggling for the future of their continent."
