Youth Visions – I Am the Future, by Rachel Cisinki
Synopsis: Four young adults, on the front line of political, economic and climatic crises, are committed to building a better future.
- In Paris, Mamadou, a 26-year-old Guinean, meets screenwriter Marianne, with whom he is writing a film about a migrant’s arrival in France, inspired by his own story.
- In Akkar – a rural region in the north of Lebanon – Soumayraa, a 23-year-old woman, has started an NGO to support the women of her community, encourage them to become more independent and (re)create links between them, notably through photography.
- In Delhi, Laxmi, 24 years old, is taking part in the creation of a musical inspired by her own life, in which she plays the lead role. The story of a young Indian girl who wants to become a dancer, despite her family’s reservations and the neighborhood’s opinion.
- In Jakarta, 21-year-old Dian introduces us to the slum where she grew up. An avid painter, her drawings reveal the evolution of her territory: rising sea levels and flooding; expansion of agriculture, construction of highways and expulsion of the poorest populations.
Their insatiable hunger for freedom led them to testify at the United Nations in New York, creating lifelong memories and friendships.
