Film Retour a Goree
Francophonie 2008: Film Series
(110 min., 2007, Switzerland, directed by Pierre-Yves Borgeaud) This musical on-the-road film recounts African singer Youssou N'Dour's epic journey to bring back to Africa a jazz repertoire and to sing those tunes in Goree, the island that today symbolizes the slave trade and stands to commemorate its victims. Guided in his mission by the pianist Moncef Genoud, N'Dour travels across the United States of America and Europe. Accompanied by some of the world's most exceptional musicians, they meet peoples and well known figures, and create, through concerts, encounters and debates, music which transcends cultural division.
$13, general admission; $10, members; call 202-633-3030

Series continues April 8, 15
