The Travelers
by David Bingong, 2025, Cameroon, Spain, 60’ Greek Premiere
We are waiting for our chance to cross into Europe, impatiently, on the border between Morocco and Spain. One failed attempt follows another, but we endure. As “an Artist”, it is my job to keep the flame of hope alive for the whole group. Our means of resistance, survival and expression are a camera and a few songs. This film emerged from that waiting period, capturing our dreams, frustrations, and determination as we search for a future beyond the border.
