DEATH OF THE SERPENT GOD

Damien Froidevaux- 2014 / France / 87 mts


Koumba is twenty. She was just two years old when she arrived in France, but

neglected to apply for citizenship when she matured.

When a street fight goes wrong, she is deported back to Senegal. Within the next forty-

eight hours, the young restless Parisian teenager suddenly becomes a Senegalese

villager…lost in the bush, far from her family and life in Paris.

This news story soon becomes a tragic epopee; the story of a five year exile.
