Jestem z Doumga
A story about a man called Amadou Sy, who walks through his life with his head held high, proudly and responsibly. He has a lot of heart, in which two homelands – Poland and Senegal – take up a lot of space. He loves them both with equal strength, admires and appreciates them the same. In Stargard he was a regarded and respected councilor, who co-decided about the issues of many people, while in Doumga, where he comes from, he co-decides about a large family. The movie presents a European and an African in one person, who perfectly harmonises love and attachment to both of his homelands, not favouring any of them.
