Synopsis
In Burkina Faso, in the gold-digging site of Bantara, Rasmané (16) descends more than one hundred meters below ground in artisanal mines to extract gold. Anxious about accidents, Rasmané makes his way through this fierce, adult world in the hope of one day emancipating himself…
Filmmaker from Burkina Faso, he directed four short films and co-directed a feature documentary for TV. A Golden Life is his first feature documentary for cinema. He is currently developing the road movie documentary Djéliya, Memory of Manding (selected for La Fabrique des Cinémas du Monde – Cannes), and two feature-length fiction films: Le nom qu’on te donne and Les dieux délinquants.
