Io Capitano tells the story of the adventurous journey of Seydou and Moussa, two young men who leave Dakar to make their way to Europe. A contemporary Odyssey through the dangers of the desert, the horrors of the detention centers in Libya and the perils of the sea.
DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
Io Capitano recounts the epic journey of two young men from Senegal who make their way across Africa—and through myriad dangers—in pursuit of a dream called Europe. We began by listening to the actual accounts of people who have survived this infernal ordeal, and we decided to orient the camera from their perspective so as to tell this contemporary odyssey from their point of view. Io Capitano thus offers a sort of reverse shot compared to the images we’re used to seeing from our western perspective in an attempt to finally give voice to those who don’t usually have one.
