- Synopsis
- Young people without work, most of whom are looking to leave the country, have joined the ranks of gangs perpetrating violence in the town of Zinder, Niger. Locally, they are called the “In Palais”. Using her skills as a sociologist and her passion for film, Aicha Macky explores the origins of this violence, which is taking over her country and the continent.
