Seydou and Moussa (played by Seydou Sarr and Moussa Fall) are two cousins from Dakar, Senegal. They have 16 years old, they go to school, they have a family. But they decide to go to Europe. One dreams of doing he raps, the other will act as his agent. They leave secretly from their families, but after having had the blessing of the holy man and ancestors. They paid for a bus ride to the Mediterranean. And Europe. They will cross the desert. They will arrive in Libyan prisons. They will meet dreamers like/different from them, and exploiters. They will live there hope and pain. They will dream of “working miracles”, they will be separated, tortured, they will meet again. Facing the waves of the Mediterranean, with Italy and Europe on the other side, Seydou will scream. He will become brave captain: adult.
I Captain, the review of the film by Matteo Garrone
An Odyssey. New, young. We don’t leave home because we are migrants for poverty and freedom, but for fulfill your dreams. To live like everyone else sixteen-year-olds in the world. The one who listens to all the same music. The most surprising thing about I am Captainthe most “Garronian”, is that the director this time is his second Pinocchio it does African, contemporary, rapper. It makes him travel and dream. She makes him meet her ghosts, cats and foxes, fire eaters. Toyland is a human slaughter in Libya. It seems cynical, but it’s very human. The boat is full of very real migrants. No “blackmail”. Seydou’s scream wins. Unmissable.
Matteo Garrone talks about his film Io Capitano: not one true story, but many
At the Venice Film Festival, Matteo Garrone told us about his film like this: «We passed 6 months of listening. Then we gradually selected the stories. Seydou is all the stories we have collected. The film starts with that by Mamadou who, from sub-Saharan Africa, crossed the largest desert in the world and passed 3 years in Libya.
The ending instead is the story of a boy who is now an adult and is in Belgium. But she was 16 when he found himself in be a captain of a boat with 150 migrants, he who had never seen the sea. He arrived in Catania and got it done 6 months in prison. Everyone, grateful, called him captain and worried about him. The authorities thought he was the smuggler…
My boys start from one dignified poverty and run away to make their dreams come true. Discover the world. This is what I discovered in the eyes of the real Seydou and Moussa. We found them in Senegal. Moussa took a theater course at school, Seydou has a mother and sister who are amateur actresses. They do not dream of fame, as they do not have Never thought about doing this trip: too dangerous, they told me.”
