Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***Mixed language audio with English & French subtitles***What is it that drives Pierre-Yves Vandeweerd to explore the same territories, on the borders of Sahara and Sahel, in search of his roots? Why does this Belgian filmmaker want to confront war in South Sudan, find a tree in Mauritania, testify of the struggle of the oppressed black Mauritanians? For, going to this distant Africa means retreating into a district, into a circle, taking root in order to better liberate oneself in this remote and yet so close elsewhere, but more than anything it means liberating oneself through the gesture of cinema. DVD 1 - Closed District (2004); DVD 2 - Faraway Roots (2002) & DVD 3 - Drowned in Oblivion (2007).

This box set contains 3 DVDs and a leaflet with a text by Christopher Postic, Artistic Director of the États généraux, du film documentaire in Lussas (France).
