English

On the 30th of october 2014 in Burkina Faso, the revolted population kicked off President Blaise Campaoré of the power after 27 years of ruling. 6 years later, we leave for Ouagadougou to investigate on this event, looking for the protagonists of a picture shoot while they were occupying the stage of the national television this same day.

À bas ! will be a story of the Burkinabe Revolution, told by its anonymous heroes and an open tribune for the militant African youth.

The film is an investigation through a city that is politically restless, looking for the protagonists of the insurrection to understand the intimate roots of the revolution sparks. It will give a voice to the irrepressible desire of the Burkinabe Youth to handle the destiny of its country.
