Io Capitano

Senegalese teenage cousins Seydou (Seydou Sarr) and Moussa (Moustapha Fall) left Dakar on an ambitious odyssey to reach Italy and make a better life. The grueling cross-desert trek through Libya leaves them susceptible to separation, exploitation, and abuse at the hands of migrant smugglers, rebel militias, and authorities. Director Matteo Garrone's acclaimed and stunning study, performed by a nonprofessional cast, also stars Issaka Sawadogo. 121 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French and Wolof; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In French and Wolof with English subtitles. C/Rtg: NR
