Camp De Thiaroye
Synopsis
Senegal, 1944. African infantry soldiers who valiantly fought in Europe against the Nazis must now be paid and repatriated to their countries. They arrive at the Thiaroye marshaling camp, on the outskirts of Dakar. But the veterans soon realize that they will be paid much less than they were promised. The men rebel, but this will not stop the massacre that awaits them at the hands of French forces. A searing story with brilliant performances, Camp de Thiaroye chronicles history that should not be forgotten.
