Ce documentaire retrace les quatre années de pouvoir de Thomas Sankara, président du Burkina Faso de 1983 à 1987. Chef d’État surprenant, il est surnommé « le Che africain » et connu de tous en Afrique pour ses idées novatrices, son franc-parler teinté d’humour ravageur, sa fougue et son altruisme. Avec une arme dans une main et les œuvres de Karl Marx dans l’autre, Sankara devint président à l’âge de 34 ans. Il bouscula immédiatement les fondations du pays au nom colonial français, Haute-Volta, qu’il renomma Burkina Faso, « Terre des hommes intègres ». Ce film rend compte de l’impact de cet homme et de sa politique sur les Burkinabés et sur l’Afrique en général.

Initiated as an educational project to help young filmmakers develop their craft, Congo in Four Acts is a quartet of short films. Ladies in Waiting chronicles the bureaucratic dysfunctions of a maternity ward from which women cannot leave unless they pay their fees. Symphony Kinshasa takes the viewer on a tour through Congo’s capital city where malaria is rife, electricity cables lie in the street and garbage is everywhere. Zero Tolerance deals with rape as a weapon of war in Eastern RDC and the attempts by authorities to re-establish the national moral code. After the Mine depicts life in Kipushi, a mining town where the soil is contaminated.
