Sahel: Homeland or Death

For decades, the countries of Africa’s Sahel region have been targets of colonialism and exploitation by France and other Western powers. The documentary “Sahel: Homeland or Death” portrays the popular resistance and the new paths of development being forged by Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali after experiencing a series of civilian and military uprisings in recent years. The film was produced following extensive coverage of the region’s social dynamics and ongoing geopolitical struggles, after two reporting trips by Brasil de Fato to the Sahel.
