About the film:
Each year, thousands of young Africans risk their lives to flee a continent scourged by war and endemic poverty. Many drown or die of cold, hunger and fatigue. Shocked by this growing phenomenon, Musa Dieng Kala returns to his country’s capital, Dakar (Senegal) to ask the question: Has God Forsaken Africa? See how this documentary is a moving call for a global ecology in which no nation or people is abandoned.
