Film: L'Histoire de Souleymane
L'Histoire de Souleymane ('The Story of Souleymane') is a 2024 French film directed by Boris Lojkine from a script he wrote with Delphine Agut. The film follows Souleymane, a recent Guinean immigrant, through the streets of Paris as he prepares for his asylum application interview while working for a meal delivery service on his e-bike. The themes revolve around the exploitation of the sans papiers ('without papers') often by fellow Africans - one a fellow immigrant from northern Guinea who lazily coaches asylum applicants to recite false stories of political persecution at their hearings in return for payment, and another who lends Souleymane a food delivery account but then takes half of his earnings every week. The film largely avoids depictions of racism but equally, there are few acts of kindness in the film. The film stars Abou Sangaré as Souleymane. It had its world premiere at the Un Certain Regard section of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize and the Performance Prize. It received eight nominations at the 50th César Awards, including Best Film, and won four awards: Best Supporting Actress (for Nina Meurisse), Best Male Revelation (for Sangaré), Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing.
