El gran río
2012, Spanish. Directed by Rubén Plataneo.
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.

This is a film that travels between Argentina and Africa, reflecting filial routes and roots, clashes and meeting of cultures.
