A Thousand Suns (2013)
Film Synopsis
In 1972, Djibril Diop Mambety made the film Touki Bouki. In it, Mory and Anta are in love, two young people who share the same dream, to leave Dakar and start a new life in Paris. But on the fateful day of the departure, Anta leaves whilst Mory remains alone on the quayside, unable to let go of his homeland. Forty years on, Mille Soleils looks at the film's legacy and asks what has happened since. Magaye Niang, the film's hero, has never set foot outside Dakar. Today, the old cowboy wonders what became of Anta, his first love.© James Travers
