Who Are You October?

Overview

A woman puts on her most beautiful dress. The iridescent reflections pierce the darkness, from which emerges archive footage showing the attack of the Burkinabe National Assembly by 'bare-handed' demonstrators in October 2014. They were opposing the amendment of an article of the constitution demanded by Blaise Compraoré, who had been in power since the assassination of the ‘father’ of the Republic of Burkina Faso, Thomas Sankara, on 15 October 1987. "Qui es-tu Octobre?" retraces this story through a family living in a district of Ouagadougou.
