REDEMPTION SONG

Italia, 2015,71'

Cissoko is a refugee who has arrived in Italy. Pushed by the desire of awakening of his people he films with a little camera the not tempting implications of a world in crisis where usually the conditions of his brothers are barely near to the slavery.

His coming back to Africa, in Guinea, to project his images in the village and in the school, is an invitation to stop to the internal war. 

Potentially accompanied in his travel by artists who reinforce his emotional sound and the memory of 

Thomas Sankara, from  Senegal of  Ilee de Gorée, the island of the traffic,  Cissoko move to Brazil to tribute the descendant of the slaves who continue to fight for their rights and maintain alive his african origin.
