IO CAPITANO
About
Two 16-year-olds dream of leaving Senegal and becoming stars in Italy.Presented by Black Ark Media A pursuit of happiness occurring across two continents, the audience is treated to this heart wrenching, familial triumph against adversity. Seydou [Seydou Sarr] and Moussa [Moustapha Fall] cousins and best friends, are not yet alive to all that entails, but soon grow beyond their years during their labyrinthine journey across the Sahara Desert, the corrupt underbelly of Libya and the Mediterranean. When anti-immigration sentiment is rife across Europe, Io Capitano is a punchy call to humanise those brave enough to risk all in aid of a promised oasis.
