- Summary:
- En 1986, six cents enfants orphelins et ruraux du Burkina-Faso sont envoyés à Cuba avec la mission d'apprendre un métier et revenir développer leur pays en pleine révolution. Mais après l'assassinat en 1987 du président burkinabé, Thomas Sankara, la liquidation de la Révolution par Blaise Compaoré et la fin de la Guerre Froide, comment revenir, se construire, exister ? Au récit de cette utopie de l'Afrique Rouge, aux souvenirs épiques de ces enfants, se mêlent les images d'archives tantôt rougies par le sable, la chaleur et le vent, tantôt délavées, s'effaçant presque, nous donnant ainsi à voir les réminiscences de leur jeunesse révolutionnaire. Version française et version anglaise. In 1986, six hundred orphans and rural children from Burkina Faso were sent to Cuba with the mission of learning a trade and returning to develop their country in the midst of a revolution. But after the assassination in 1987 of the president of Burkina Faso, Thomas Sankara, the liquidation of the Revolution by Blaise Compaoré and the end of the Cold War, how to return, build oneself, exist? To the story of this utopia of Red Africa, to the epic memories of these children, are mixed the archive images sometimes reddened by the sand, the heat and the wind, sometimes washed out, almost erasing themselves, thus giving us to see reminiscences of their revolutionary youth. French version.
