Giving a voice
to those silenced.
Five men, five stories. A documentary by Denis Ponté — from West Africa to the gates of Europe, a fixed frame, no music, no artifice.
Five men from Guinea-Conakry, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon and Liberia tell their story.
Departure, journey, arrival in Spain, the life they build there. And, at the end of the story, the dream.
The film does not speak in their place. It looks at them and listens. A fixed frame, at man's height, without music or artifice. No dramatisation, no discourse that would dictate what should be felt.
Their stories are simple, dignified, sometimes difficult. They speak of migration, but also of work, waiting, hope and the future.
For behind figures, borders and political discourse, there are lives. And dreams that continue despite everything.
Their words are the film.
The film in images.
