Teaser
- What happened to the children of the heroes who died fighting for freedom?
Synopsis
- THE SILENCE AND MYSTERY surrounding the tragic events that took place between 1957 and 1971 in Cameroon perpetuate a suffering that often has dramatic consequences for the families of the victims of the independence struggle. For them, their dear ones' sacrifice has not yet been sufficiently recognized.
Executed by the Cameroonian authorities in 1971, freedom fighter Ernest Ouandié left behind a daughter he never met: Ernestine. Through Ernestine's testimony, LEAF IN THE WIND looks into the repercussions of colonialism, leaving us with the question: is sacrifice freedom's price?
