The Alliance Française de Durban’s Ciné
Club will show the film, Little Lion /
Comme un lion on September 5.
The film will be the French version with
English subtitles. Directed by Samuel Collardey, it runs for one hour and 41
minutes and is based on a true story.
Mitri is 15 and lives in a Senegalese
village. Like all boys his age, he plays football and dreams of Barça and of
Chelsea. When a recruiting agent picks him up out, Mitri believes his chance
has come. But to get seen by the great European football clubs, one has to pay.
His family chips in and puts itself into
debt to help him. Once in Paris, everything collapses: Mitri finds himself
abandoned, without a dime in his pocket, and unable to imagine dealing with the
shame should he return to his village. An odyssey which will require all his
resourcefulness hence begins. But his football dream will soon catch up with
him...
The film will be shown at 11h30 on September
5. Entrance is free. Food and refreshments will be available at Cash Bar
(Fusion French Cafe)
