Idrissa, crónica de una muerte cualquiera

Idrissa Diallo was 21 years old when he died in a cell in a notorious Migrants Detention Centre in Barcelona. Beyond the lyricism of its narration, the documentary is structured as a thriller, unfolding in the style of a road movie filmed as direct cinema. The driving force of the film is to discover who Idrissa was. The goal is to reveal the circumstances surrounding his death and why they were never clarified. The team begins by looking for Idrissa's family, a complicated search as the Spanish authorities that deal with immigration control are not willing to cooperate. In an exercise of justice, memory and reparation, Idrissa's remains are returned to the small town of Guinea where he was born, with his family. (Polar Star Films)
