Black to the Future
NO ONE THOUGHT FINDING PLANET B WAS POSSIBLE. AFRICA IS ABOUT TO MAKE IT REAL.
Directed by Jean-Pascal Zadi
Produced by Douze Doigts Productions, Gaumont
A comedic space adventure centered on an African-led mission to find a new world, balancing humor about interpersonal dynamics with themes of collective survival and diaspora unity.
In the utmost secrecy, the first African space mission is preparing to take off! The crew, from Africa and its diaspora, is set to explore the planet "NARDAL", assessing its potential as a refuge for all Africans should Earth ever become uninhabitable. The problem is that the journey will be long. Very long. And in interstellar missions, the greatest unknown is whether the astronauts will be able to get along.
