Our People Are Our Mountain presents Xaraasi Xanne: Crossing Voices.
We’ll be at the Atlas Cinema - a community cinema - alongside Randa Toko on Saturday 15th June at 1pm to host the screening of this powerful 2022 documentary by Bouba Touré & Raphaël Grisey that traces the story of Somankidi Coura - an agricultural cooperative founded by West African migrant workers in 1977 - through personal archives, song and radio.
Exploring migration, land and post-colonial futures, the film honours grassroots resilience and radical self-determination.
You can buy tickets from £5 via this link - spaces are limited! All proceeds support the digitisation of Bouba Touré’s archive. AANNDDD this screening is a part of Our People Are Our Mountain radical reading group which will be hosted Saturday 4th July at Earth Tenders. Details soon come.
