Featured review
The African Che Guevara
A man who challenged the mighty of the world. He said that politics only made sense if he worked for the happiness of the people. He affirmed, with his own personal example, that politics was service, not power or personal enrichment. He supported the reasons of the least, of the different and of women. He denounced the criminal overwhelming power of big finance. He mocked the rules of a world founded on a competitiveness that always punishes the humble and those who work. And that always enriches the puppeteers of this stupid arena. He screamed that the world was for women and men, all women and all men and that it was not fair that many, too many could only look at the lives of a few and try to survive. They killed him and tried to erase all memory.
An important document to understand the revolution in Burkina Faso and the life of this revolutionary president who with humility, simplicity and firmness has improved the life of an entire country.
A charachter with values that should be engraved in the mind, who had the courage to oppose the great powers, in favor of his land, for the common good.
An hour in which it is possible to see the true image of the man who was Sankara, a documentary not to be missed to remind you that a different way of doing politics exists.
The story of how he could (and could be) Africa.
He made the largest vaccination campaign ever seen, gave five liters of water and two meals a day to all citizens, fought corruption, sold all Mercedes to declare Renault 5 state cars. He explained very well to the world and the UN how debt (the new form of colonialism) was strangling Africa. He said that "happiness", and nothing else, had to be the goal of a state. His bank account was always in the red, the mortgage to pay, the presidential car was a small car and questioned the global economic system.
This is a story that should be studied in school.
An example and a documentary that absolutely needs to be known.
