Guinea

In between astonishing poverty and military dictation, adolescents try to follow their dreams. However, due to the high amount of illiteracy rate of almost 70 percent and a weak economy, most of them see their future in Europe. This film addresses this very situation and explains that every step taken towards fighting the illiteracy rate is a step towards combating the number one reason of fleeing.
