SOULEYMANE’S STORY

Directed by Boris Lojkine
As he pedals through the streets of Paris to deliver meals, Souleymane repeats his story. In two days, he has to go through his asylum application interview, the key to obtaining papers. But Souleymane is not ready. Achingly human in its depiction of immigrant struggles, Souleymane’s Story asks us to witness, understand, and grant empathy to all. A vital message amid today’s political and human upheavals. Winner, Un Certain Regard, Best Actor and Jury awards, Cannes Film Festival.
