Summary:

A three-part documentary about Martinican poet Aimé Césaire. "The first part covers the poet's life, works and political action. Aimé Césaire takes the audience on a tour of his beloved Martinique. [The second part deals with] the ethics, the theory and the philosophy of negritude in its beginnings. Césaire reflects on his various Parisian encounters with intellectuals ... as well as his encounter with Africa through the mediation of Léopold Sédar Senghor. [The third part attempts to answer the questions,] how does one find "the strength to face tomorrow" after the disappointments of decolonization, the failures in the Third World, the "ills of development" [--and the strength to face] the planetary crisis?"--Container.
