Thiaroye 44

What happened on 1 December 1944 at the Thiaroye military camp? The West African riflemen, who had just returned from the front, came under fire from French machine guns. Why were they killed? How many were killed? Where were they buried? Nearly 80 years on, the versions differ and grey areas remain. Magui, Babacar and Aïcha, three young artists, grew up in Thiaroye haunted by the spectre of this troubled memory and their unanswered questions.
