The new Oscar-nominated film _Io Capitano_ follows young Senegalese migrants on their journey from West Africa to Europe. “We wanted to … give visual form to a part of the journey that we don’t see,” says director Matteo Garrone. We are also joined by Mamadou Kouassi, whose journey from the…

  1. An absolute banger of a movie. This movie is one of those that you will want a DVD copy to just keep in your collection. Like city of god

  2. I saw the movie yesterday. I would have loved to have heard the stories of several of the other migrants caught up in this experience. We were able to understand the two teenagers rationale for making this trip. However, we were left in the dark regarding the others' calculations a rationales.

  3. Watch also "Tolo Tolo" of italian director Checco Zalone. The same story, in popular grotesque comedy wat. It sent the same message but spread to millions of people that will never watch "Io capitano"

  4. The top 10 countrie with highest economic growth are located in Africa. Stay there and work. We don`t want you to come here uninvited, illegally and sponging off our tax money.- Work for a living in your country. Don`t go to where you aren`t wanted and invited. Then nobody will die in the desert or drown. It can be so easy.

  5. The director should take a load of these men into his home and let them play with his wife, kids and grandkids. Livestream it so we can see how it is going. And ev4eryone who wants these ppl to brute their way illegally into EU should do the same. Adopt them and pay for all their expenses from your pocket. Livestream, so we can see how it is going for for you.

  6. There is no human right to brute one´s way illegally into a country and to demand the citizens of that country will pay their way through life. There is also no human right to get a visa for a country which avgIQ is way higher and where there is no need for ppl from countries with avg low IQ who will not beable to find jobs and earn a living.

  7. People in N.Y. and Texas should watch this specifically so they can understand poverty and the life-risking immigrants go through. We often talk about humanity yet when we watch the news and see immigrants a lot of people don't like them.

  8. Now am in Italy I just enter 7 months ago,I wants to tells my own story,to tell my brothers in Africa so that the can learn am jut 17 years for now,am in camp pavia

  9. Am one of the victims before entrying in Europe,as am toking now I have a broken feet,I experience all of these,in libya,I spent 3 years in libya,I lost my mom and dad due to what the here about me been in prison,I try two times thats was in 2019,I have all my prove

  10. 54 African countries! Many with incredible potential for those who want to work! Italy needs to remain Italian and should protect their country like Poland does…

  13. Gaddafi on flooding Europe with blacks

    "We don't know what will happen, what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans," Col Gaddafi said.
    "We don't know if Europe will remain an advanced and united continent or if it will be destroyed, as happened with the barbarian invasions."

  14. Unfortunately, the journalist was not very thorough or intentionally omitted the fact that the USA, with NATO destroyed the Libyan nation state in 2011 under the so called self proclaimed 'Right to Intervene' under false pretexts and this led to the destruction of the country and the infernal situation described in the interview. This is a veritable shame that the west can claim as a legacy. Since the destruction of the Libyan nation state, the country has been plunged in caos, and split up in territories controlled by warlords and also by religious fundamental extremists. The black African communities are targeted and forced into slave labour or killed. NATO attempted this in Syria as well.

  15. So, is the movie going to highlight the fact that the migrants seem to be young fighting age men, and when they land in europe do nothing but become parasitic leeches on the systems taking money giving to them by the democratic governments by doing nothing, being spoiled brats and brutalizing the European populace, raping abd pillaging the towns and village of Europe who have no say in this invasion?

  16. Thank you all. Great interview. It breaks my heart that mankind is so cruel to one ano. No one should ever suffer like this. I look forward to watching the film.

  17. This movie does a great job at exposing the horrible truth about the struggle of African migrants. It shows the inhumane treatment of African migrants by those who claim to be human. The migrants have shown their humanity by their solidarity for one another. Two million European illegal immigrants get to show up in South Africa while Europe is refusing African migrants entry to their country. Somebody please make that make sense.🤔🤬🤬🤬😤😤😤😡😡😡🤨

  18. I’m definitely going to watch this movie, and the trailer was amazing as shocking as the journey they went through to get to. God bless them for all the lives lost and the lives saved.
