Quitte le Pouvoir (WADE, GET OUT!) (36 min) is a documentary film (2014 | 36′) with subtle animations. When a group of young rappers from Dakar, Senegal, join forces through their music to create a revolt, the presidential elections get a surprising turn. By using animations over the live action footage, the dark atmosphere of the tension hanging over the city is subtly highlighted.
Quitte le Pouvoir The film is realized through crowdfunding (CineCrowd & indie gogo) and support from the the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, Webster University / St. Louis USA. Thanks to Stichting DOEN the rappers could be able to come over for the premiere
