Just a movement

Vincent Meessen & 110' — 2021

In Senegal, the name of Omar Blondin Diop is associated with an unpunished state crime. In France, he has mostly gone down in history as a Marxist activist featuring in “La Chinoise”, a fiction of political anticipation by Jean-Luc Godard. Today in Dakar, his brothers and friends remember him while the local youth play their own fate under the imperfect present of China-Africa.
