Bakoroman
Simplice Ganou / 2012 / 62 mn
Co-produced with Diam prod (Burkina Faso)
Leaving your family at 7, 12, 16. Leaving for unfamiliar territory. Taking up residence in front of a store, in a video store, on the outskirts of a bus station. Learn to take drugs, beg, steal, run, fight, stop being afraid. Making friends and enemies. Integrate a new world. To adapt.
Stories to listen to, itineraries to watch. This film is an insider's view of a few Bakoroman from Gounghin, a central district of Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso.
