Burkinabe (2019)
A sick young woman, Mariam, comes back to Burkina Faso after having left as a young child who was adopted and sent out to South Africa, where she always felt alien. She returns as an ailing young adult to the land of her birth on a journey of self-discovery, to spend her last days in the land of her forefathers. She does not know the language, culture or norms. She is on a quest to reconnect with her family and her roots. Mariam goes on a road trip to visit her village in the south west of Burkina Faso. She first lands in the bustling town of Ouagadougou
