This was so true to life, it was easy to forget that we were watching actors. The early family scenes, the harshness of the environment and of those who seek a profit from people trying to escape poverty were all too realistic to us as my husband also made this journey 10 years ago. Some scenes were too violent to watch.
The director plans to show the film in West African countries. I hope it will let young boys see the dangers of taking the back way and prevent deaths. Sadly, surviving the journey to Europe is not an end to the suffering of the ordeal. I hope the Senegalese and Moroccan film industry can provide more opportunities for all involved in making this powerful film.
