SOULEYMANE’S STORY [France], Thu 26 March, 7:30pm - 100% Rotten Tomatoes.
Souleymane is an asylum seeker from Guinea living in Paris, forced to join the daily rush for a bed in a homeless shelter. Unable to work legally, he ‘rents’ someone else’s work profile on a food delivery app. Anchored by an extraordinary performance from Abou Sangaré, Souleymane’s Story is a raw, compassionate and quietly devastating story about one man forced to live precariously on the fringes of society. https://mailchi.mp/903b1ee61709/httpscorkcineclubcom-18245220
