Showcase Ecole de cinéma Kourtrajmé Dakar
Four films about finding your inner voice, dreams and freedom. With these films, our partner School in Dakar, Senegal tries to change and challenge the “single story” that the world tells about Africa. A constant question for individual and collective identity.
