Highlights from the Motherland

Highlights from the recent film production from the African continent, including TERRA SONAMBULA - SLEEPWALKING LAND by Teresa Prata, a poetic story about a young orphan and an old man who have lost all hope in war-torn Mozambique.

This year the theme of leadership runs through the whole programme. Political leadership in the documentary COMING OF AGE by Judy Kibinge, which summarizes the history of Kenyan politics in a unique way. Leadership in the media in MAGIC RADIO by Luc Peter & Stéphanie Barbey, which throws new light in an interesting way on the role of radio in Africa. Leadership in music, hip-hop, born in the Bronx, but grew up in Africa - in FANGAFRIKA, LA VOIX DES SANS VOIX by Staycalm! Productions. Leadership in the field of sports in THE FIGHTING SPIRIT by George Amponsah about the Ghanaian boxing city of Bukom where the youth fight – literally and figuratively – in order to conquer the world.
