L’Afrance

Directed by Alain Gomis

A powerful exploration of identity and the effects of colonialism, L’AFRANCE is the story of El Hadj, a young Senegalese university student studying in Paris. He is fiercely loyal and proud of his homeland, planning to return there to teach. His growing attachment to France (and a French woman) confuses him. But when his visa expires he discovers a disturbing new side to the French.
