Io Capitano

12th November 2024

By Matteo Garrone
Senegal/Morocco/Italy | 2023 | 2h 1’ | 15 | Wolof & French with English subtitles

A flamboyant, action-packed and colourful treatment of the journey of economic migrants across the Sahara from Senegal to Europe. You get a sense of what motivates them, and the horrors they face on the way and while the ending appears jubilant we know all too well that after the film ends their troubles have only just begun.
Many awards for Best Film, Best Director & Best Cinematography and swept the board at Venice.

"This is a film that, for all its brutal horrors, keeps a kernel of hope and faith in the inherent decency of humankind", Wensy Ide, Observer
