“SAMORY ” the new feature film by AFRIKATOON

In the 1800s, somewhere in West Africa between the Ivory Coast, Mali and Guinea, French General Borgnis-Desbordes leads his umpteenth battle against the troops of Samory Touré.

Feeling on the verge of failure, he withdrew to his camp.

But Djeliba, Samory’s faithful griot, gives himself up to the General with the sole aim of telling him a story: that of the Almami.

Son passé tumultueux de commerçant, l’enlèvement de sa mère et plusieurs autres épreuves qui ont forgé le caractère du jeune homme et qui ont fait de Samory le redoutable guerrier qui défait les puissantes troupes occidentales.
