Liberté Egalité Sagacité
Jessamine Fok
Canada (Ontario), Argentina, Experimentation
SAHARA is a story of African diaspora, reconnection, and finding power within your own origin story.
In a dystopian land that is barren and dry, people live and work for the resource that powers our technological progress - cobalt. The film represents what our world might look like if we continue progress for the sake of progress. As we move through the film, dialogue and imagery touch on themes of creation, origin stories, and how we can turn back to our cultural roots to find power within ourselves, rather than from new materialistic ideals. We end on images of the people, united together, dancing together around a fire, riding away from the arid wasteland, showing strength by uniting with their inner power and knowledge that already exist within their cultural roots.
