Stories from Lakka Beach (2011)

Stories from Lakka Beach plot

"Ten years after the horrors of the rebel war, Sierra Leonean refugees still do not dare to return to their own country," said Aminata from the village of Lakka in Sierra Leone. In this town near the capital Freetown, on the coast of an azure blue sea, a fisherman, a woodworker, a beach club owner, an R&B musician and a local politician are followed in their daily activities. These five very diverse characters live their lives at close physical distances, but each has a surprisingly different perspective. While the camera closely follows their actions or scans the environment, they tell their candid stories about the sea and the forest, about war, love, religion, family and tradition and about foreign holidaymakers: tourism on the paradise white beaches is still not back to the level of the eighties. The tourists stay away because of the stories about the war, stories that the locals would rather get rid of, but that the world still tells about them.
