DP75 - Tartina City


Written, produced & directed by Issa Serge Coelo
Showed at Cannes 2008

The film is a scathing attack on media repression and governments that defy their own laws. The action is set in an unnamed African country (that closely resembles Chad) where a brutal government is in power. A journalist is detained on his way abroad to report on the situation in his country and thrown in jail.
