Passionate, taboo-breaking plea by African intellectuals and theatre-makers to tackle AIDS and the abuse of power, calling them by name. A film full of Afro-optimism and down-to-earth self criticism of African descent. Ibrahima Sarr is a Senegalese documentary maker, who has been bringing films to screen since 1997, especially about and shot in Africa, like Le bus de bien-être (1997) and De quoi je me mêle (1999). In 2005 he created Un hirdé pour Dakar.
