Barefoot Revolution, A

Synopsis
Documentary from Burkina Faso about the revolution of October 2014 which overturned the government of President Blaise Compaoré. The film was made by Christian Carmosino whose eyewitness footage of the revolution, filmed over its six days and nights in the nation’s capital Ouagadougu, forms the basis of the film. Also featuring interviews with the main actors of the revolution as well as historians and academics, the film follows the aftermath of the revolution, tracing the transitional period leading up to the elections planned for October 2015.
