The Revolution Won't Be Televised (2016)

None | Senegal | Wolof, French | 110 min
Directed by: Rama Thiaw
5.7

Old men who brutally and relentlessly cling on to their roles as heads of state have become colossally negative images in many countries of Africa, including Senegal. When President Abdoulaye Wade wanted to run for office yet again in 2011, a resistance movement formed on the streets. Shortly afterwards, a group of school friends, including rappers Thiat and Kilifeu, set up "Y'en a marre" ("We Are Fed Up"), with filmmaker Rama Thiaw soon coming on board to start documenting events - meetings, campaigns, arrests, concerts, states of exhaustion, trips - from an "insider" perspective.
