Barcelona or die (Barcelone ou la mort)
The town of Thiaroye in Senegal is not the peaceful fishermen’s village it used to be. It is from here that people first organized illegal boat departures from the small African nation to Europe. Because what they say is true: all the fishermen do want to leave as fish supplies dwindle leaving their families hungry. 30 year old Modou is one of these fishermen who have attempted to leave his home shores twice, each time risking his life on treacherous vessels, and like all the others, he knows that as soon as he has enough money he’ll try his luck again. Just like the next generation of young people who look on with the same dreams. Globalization and de-colonistaion have changed the lives of millions on both sides of the fence yet few independent films have been able to reveal personal stories like Modou’s to illustrate its emotional and cultural consequences. A hidden gem of this year’s collection, Barcelona or Die is both elementary and vital with humanity at its core.
