This film retraces the individual trajectories, the singular paths of protagonists, known or not, who still come up against prejudice, humiliation and injustice linked to their skin color.
They talk about their shared experiences but also about what makes them proud as Afro-descendants, their sources of inspiration, their right to dream and to reverse social determinism.
