Where is Africa going to? After forty years of regained independence, the African continent is in turmoil and is struggling with its contradictions, between its desire to be liberated from its colonial supervision and its dependence on the goodwill and the charity of rich countries. This film is a forum through which Africans themselves are asked about the way they see their continent and its leaders.

Qui était Léopold Sédar Senghor ? Parce qu'il a hanté la jeunesse du cinéaste, parce qu’il a fait de la négritude une affaire d'État, parce qu'il a toujours défendu la langue française, le dirigeant et penseur sénégalais a donné à Samba Félix Ndiaye l’envie de percer ses secrets. Pour cela, le réalisateur a réveillé ses souvenirs et ceux de ses proches et il a interviewé les habitants du village natal de Léopold Sedar Senghor. Finalement, le film est une évocation poétique et originale d’une figure incontournable de l’Afrique du XX siècle.

In Rwanda, a hundred members of the Ukuri Kuganze Association, made up in its majority by survivors of the genocide, and a few of their executioners, freed after having confessed and asked for forgiveness in 2003, meet at a reinsertion center. These executioners are going home, in most cases to the same places where they carried out their crimes, and will have to "face" their victims and ask their forgiveness. In 1994, over a space of just one hundred days, almost a million people were murdered, that makes 10,000 dead per day.

April, 1994. Genocide in Rwanda. 800,000 dead. A catastrophe that upset the balance in the entire region. The Great Lakes region of Africa ended the year with a bloodbath. This documentary shows the intrigues, the dramatic effects, the treasons, the vengeances that prevailed over those years and whose only goal was to maintain or increase each faction’s area of influence. In just ten years, the population saw all their hopes vanish: The dream of an Africa in control of its own destiny, alimentary self-sufficiency, the end of interethnic conflicts.
