The Film
‘Io Capitano’ is about two Senegalese teenagers, Seydou and Moussa, who leave their home in Dakar to build a new life as musicians in Europe. In order to fulfil this dream, they take great risks: on their journey, they cross the desert, end up in Libya’s detention camps until they are faced with the challenge of taking the life-threatening route across the Mediterranean.
The drama was nominated for Best International Film at the 2023 Oscars and director Matteo Garrone was awarded the Silver Lion at the 80th Venice International Film Festival. Leading actor Seydou Sarr also received the ‘Marcello Mastroianni Award’ for best up-and-coming actor.
After the screening, our former intern from the advocacy and mobilisation team Elina will give some information about the work of SOS Humanity and answer questions from the audience about civilian search and rescue.
