The film tells the story of Brice, a young Gabonese farmer practicing peri-urban agriculture in Libreville, highlighting his deep connection to the land. Following the screening, Otsobogo will engage in a thoughtful discussion, sharing her journey as a filmmaker, the founding of the Masuku Environment Festival in Gabon and the creative process behind Ya La Terre. This session offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of storytelling and environmental consciousness in African cinema.
