The Walls of Dakar

• Director: Abdoul Aziz Cissé
• Cast: Modou Mbaye
• Theatrical Release Date:

Synopsis: A rare documentary that chronicles Dakar’s unplanned, spontaneous mural frescos, produced by marginal painters, rappers and taggers, that functioned, until the city’s insurgency, as one of its rare sites for free, uncensored expression and the crucible for articulating citizenship. Visually captivating, an elegy of Dakar's unrepentant insurgent spirit of its everyday artists. [courtesy of TIFF]
