Ce documentaire retrace les quatre années de pouvoir de Thomas Sankara, président du Burkina Faso de 1983 à 1987. Chef d’État surprenant, il est surnommé « le Che africain » et connu de tous en Afrique pour ses idées novatrices, son franc-parler teinté d’humour ravageur, sa fougue et son altruisme. Avec une arme dans une main et les œuvres de Karl Marx dans l’autre, Sankara devint président à l’âge de 34 ans. Il bouscula immédiatement les fondations du pays au nom colonial français, Haute-Volta, qu’il renomma Burkina Faso, « Terre des hommes intègres ». Ce film rend compte de l’impact de cet homme et de sa politique sur les Burkinabés et sur l’Afrique en général.

In 1969, Imam Abdullah Haron was incarcerated and killed in detention in Cape Town, South Africa. A much loved community leader, he was active within an inactive community in raising awareness of the plight of his compatriots living under apartheid. During the 60s, Imam Haron became more active and began travelling abroad to raise funds for impoverished families back home. Mixing animation, documentary and stock footage, this short film looks at the last few years of the Imam's life and death. It is told by his grandson, the filmmaker, through the eyes of a child.
