Waiting, boredom, finding out where to sleep, begging for a few tickets to buy food, and then living next to his cell phone: this daily life is the one shared by many migrants who have attempted the crossing to the European Eldorado; and who, after having conquered a thousand torments, the hot breath of the desert, the Libyan jails, the risk of shipwreck in the Mediterranean, find themselves without resources, without perspective, in Europe.
A documentary titled To cross, directed by Joël Akafou, has just been released in theaters this week in France after being selected two years ago at the Berlinale. We follow the projects of Inza Junior Touré alias Bourgeois, who left Ivory Coast, finds himself in Italy and dreams of France.
On our show this week, the cycle Tigritudes which opens on January 12 at Paris Images Forum.
We receive the director Dyana gaye, who, together with Valerie Osouf, chose the 125 films screened, from 40 countries and representing 66 years of Pan-African cinema.
Finally we take stock with our correspondent Loïc Pialat on the results of the year 2021 and the outlook for 2022 in Hollywood.
Musical breaks: The hymn to migrants, under the aegis of Didier Awadi, and Bad religion by Cat Power.
