Return to Gorée

This documentary follows Youssou N'Dour as he embarks on a journey along the slave route, seeking inspiration from the music born out of the horror of slavery. Accompanied by Swiss pianist Moncef Genoud and Joseph N'Diaye, the Director of the Gorée House of Slaves Museum, N'Dour writes new songs reflecting on this heavy history.

The film culminates in a concert on Gorée Island, a significant site in the history of the slave trade. N'Dour's performances aim to raise awareness among today's generation about the tragedy of slavery and the importance of reconciliation. This exploration of music as a form of remembrance and advocacy adds depth to the viewing experience.
