What struck me in the trailer is how much these kids study and for what - there is no guarantee they will have a job, or go to college, following graduation. I think of Abdoulaye, and all the studying he did by lamplight or with inconsistent electricity and of course of Zana, Mali where my host siblings similarly studied by kerosene lamp.
It's too bad there aren't any Guineans on the team who produced the film and I can't tell from the director and producers' blurbs how much experience they have in Guinea/West Africa/Africa. Nonetheless, looks like an interesting piece, hopefully it will come to E street cinema.
