SYNOPSIS Why do so many young Africans dream of leaving for Europe? Are they aware of the dangers?
Sunu Gaal (Our Cayuco) follows young people from Senegal, such as Mariatou, a girl fighting to migrate; Árfa, a teenage fisherman; and Aliou, who bets online to finance his trip. The documentary shows us a young generation aware of racism in Europe, the new colonialism that is plundering their country’s resources, and the hunger for feminism among a generation of girls demanding greater freedom.
