In this film we follow four young rap artists from rap movement Y’en a Marre (‘We’re Fed Up’) from Dakar’s inner city. Frustrated with the sitting Senegalese president clinging to power, they bring an unprecedented popular rebellion to the streets. As the movement gains massive popular support, the new leaders of the youth movement are provoked by police forces and must choose between fighting back or sticking to their peaceful stance, struggling between impulse and thoughtfulness. They learn what it means to resist fear as they struggle to control the angry masses. This rebellion propels our four protagonists into adulthood.
