LAND OF UPRIGHT PEOPLE
The film recounts the search for freedom of four Burkinabé citizens: a musician leader of the revolution that began in October 2014 (the icon of the reggae scene Sams'K Le Jah, awarded by Amnesty International as Ambassador of conscience), a candidate in the upcoming elections , a miner engaged in union struggle and a mother who has to take care of a poor and numerous family, all united by the hope that their country will soon become truly free and just: the "country of people of integrity", as the revolutionary Thomas Sankara, whose memory is still very much alive in the population.
