Sinopsis
Sunu Gaal (Our cayuco) follows the lives of several young people from Senegal through the eyes of Mariatou, an 18-year-old girl who is fighting to travel to Europe; 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. We will meet young people who are determined, prepared, and have a clear goal: to travel to other countries, despite knowing that they may never even get there.
