DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
The body of Idrissa Diallo is awaiting repatriation. The trip from Spain to Guinea Conakry is taking longer than expected. His case is just one of many stories with a tragic ending, whose circumstances are still pending clarification. The follow-up undertaken by the directors is an exercise in reparations in the face of apathy and institutional opposition. (LGV)

Biography of the director
Xavier Artigas
Xavier Artigas and Xapo Ortega have gained vast experience as social communicators since they met at the Audiovisual Commission of 15M in Barcelona in 2011. As a duo, they have developed new audiovisual narratives in activism, which has allowed them to make messages that are traditionally associated with minority groups go viral, reaching hundreds of thousands -even millions- of spectators, as was the case for the documentary Ciutat Morta.
