Breve Sinossi:

The protagonist of this documentary film is Sierra Leone’s best-known investigative journalist, Sorious Samura. For the past 25 years, Sorious has covered the thorniest issues plaguing his country, such as civil war, hunger, and AIDS. However, after two decades spent telling negative stories about Africa, Sorious is eager to change the narrative. Together with his best friend, the country’s most famous playwright, Charlie Haffner, he embarks on a journey to Sierra Leone to create a national play with the intent of restoring pride to a nation with a rich and surprising history that is now known mostly for conflict, poverty, and corruption. Nothing goes as planned. Over the course of the film, the cultures of the two friends collide and tensions flare as Sierra Leone itself teeters on the brink of civil unrest. For both, the work itself becomes the only issue they can cling to in order to save themselves and lift the nation’s pride.
