THE RISE AND FALL OF THOMAS SANKARA

Описание: Thomas Sankara was more than a president. He was a revolutionary, a symbol of African self-determination, and a threat to powerful interests at home and abroad. In just four years as leader of Burkina Faso, Sankara challenged imperialism, rejected foreign debt, promoted women’s liberation, and demanded that Africa stand on its own feet.

This documentary explores the life, ideals, and tragic death of Thomas Sankara. It examines how a man admired by millions became isolated by the very system he sought to dismantle. From his rise through the military, to his radical reforms, and finally to the betrayal that ended his life, this film uncovers the political tensions, personal relationships, and global forces that shaped his fate.

At the center of this story is a painful question. How did trust turn into treachery? What role did power, fear, and ambition play in the events of October 15, 1987? And why does Sankara’s message still resonate decades after his assassination?

This is not just a story about the past. It is a reflection on leadership, loyalty, and the cost of revolutionary change in Africa.
