TRUE GODS HAVE BONES

Directors: Belén Santos & David Alfaro
Documentary, Color, 90 min.
Spain 2011
Creole, Portuguese and Spanish with English subtitles

Life in Guinea Bissau is not easy, because it is one of the poorest countries in the world. Children with severe health problems have to be evacuated to Europe as their only chance for survival. The day to day existence of five people reveals the complications of carrying out these evacuations, such as the day when the President and Chief of Staff are murdered and the country is paralyzed. But our protagonists teach us that in Africa easy things are difficult and the impossible becomes simple to achieve.

Das Leben in Guinea Bissau ist nicht einfach, weil es eines der ärmsten Länder der Welt ist. Kinder mit ernsthaften gesundheitlichen Problemen müssen nach Europa evakuiert werden, ihre einzige Chance zu überleben. Das tägliche Leben von fünf Menschen offenbart die Komplikationen, die mit der Durchführung dieser Evakuierungen einhergehen, etwa der Tag, als der Präsident und der Stabschef ermordet werden und das Land völlig paralysiert ist. Aber unsere Protagonisten lehren uns, dass in Afrika leichte Dinge schwierig sind und das Unmögliche einfach zu erreichen.
