THE AFRICAN DREAM - Short film 2017

THE AFRICAN DREAM is a mixture of the dreams and reality that i live on a daily basis. The dream has become reality. Who are we to say otherwise?


The road is the only place where I find stability, the unknown is my home. Whatever the means, no matter how and for how long, the main thing is that I am moving.
Africa at the beginning was only a hint of a dream, and as time went on and I became more mature, most of Africa was transformed into a call that I decided to obey, throwing myself into the most extraordinary adventure: a tour of Africa on foot, hitchhiking, and cycling! January 2015 marked the beginning of the adventure, and so far, I have traveled to 17 countries including Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Mali, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Bénin, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somaliland, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania & Zanzibar, almost all without any money! I plan to continue until I reach South Africa. You’re probably wondering how I finance my trip… I usually work odd jobs on the way, sometimes I am a fisherman, a guide, or even a seller … my resourcefulness never leaves me empty-handed At the end of my trip, I am planning to make a movie about my journey. First, I want to tell my story and how I crossed this entire continent from one corner to another, and how I was able to realize my dream despite starting from nothing. Second, I want to contribute towards changing the average person’s perspective about Africa, and convey vivid stories that show the continent’s beauty and diversity, especially from an African point of view.

Madrid beat Liverpool to complete hat-trick

Image
Real Madrid completed their third straight UEFA Champions League triumph with a 3-1 defeat of Liverpool in Kyiv. Gareth Bale scored twice off the bench as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 in Kyiv to become European champions for the 13th time. Bale's first was an 'I-was-there' goal, one to rival Zinédine Zidane, Mario Mandžukić and any other you care to name as the best in final history. Marcelo's cross from the left looked harmless enough, but the Welshman, 20 metres out, somehow contorted his body to hook the ball over his head with enough power that it fizzed past Loris Karius. Quite the contrast to Madrid's opener on 51 minutes, when Karius attempted to roll the ball out to a team-mate only for Benzema to stick out a hopeful leg which turned out to be a goalscoring interception. Isco had been denied by the crossbar shortly prior to that, but Liverpool – creaking ever since the talismanic Mohamed Salah had been forced off with a shoulder problem in t

Ronaldo brilliance puts Madrid in charge against Juventus

Image
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid beat Juventus 3-0 in Turin to close in on a UEFA Champions League semi-final place. Ronaldo broke the deadlock when he met Isco's cross after just three minutes, but it was his second – a sensational overhead kick just after the hour – that prompted even the home fans to applaud. Juve's misery was further compounded by Paulo Dybala's red card and Marcelo bundling in a third, with Ronaldo later hitting the crossbar – as Toni Kroos had done in the opening period – and spurning two more opportunities to register yet another hat-trick. The headlines were already his, though, his exploits leaving Juve with a mountain to climb in the Spanish capital next week. Hard work pays off!
