Synopsis
Crossing Voices recounts the adventure of Somankidi Coura, an agricultural cooperative founded in Mali in 1977 by migrant workers from West Africa living in France. The story of this improbable utopia of returning to the country follows a tortuous path that sheds light on the ecological stakes and struggles on the African continent since the 1970s.
