Synopsis

David, a young rapper from Guinea known as Black Doh, stows away on overseas ships to the “land of Maradona”. His friends, his family and his mother remained in Africa, whom he never saw again. He records his first album with songs in soussou, French and Spanish. Years later, his first album arrives in Africa. This is a film that travels between Argentina and Africa, reflecting filial routes and roots, clashes and meeting of cultures.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
