Kalara, in collaboration with the Millenium Festival, is pleased to invite you to the screening of Makongo by Elvis Sabin Ngaïbino, an exceptional documentary on a little-known phenomenon: the challenges of education in rural or hard-to-reach areas of Sub-Saharan Africa.

A moving insight into access to education and the dignity of a marginalized community.
