Description:
BURKINABÈ RISING: This film explores creative nonviolent resistance in Burkina Faso, a small West African nation with a thriving artistic community and active citizens. It highlights the potential for political change when people unite, offering inspiration to Africa and the world. Through music, film, ecology, visual art, and architecture, the film features individuals carrying on the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara, who was overthrown in a 1987 coup led by his close advisor Blaise Compaoré, who then ruled as an autocrat for 27 years. A massive popular uprising in 2014 led to Compaoré's removal. Today, resistance continues to be a powerful force in Burkina Faso.
