About This Movie

Incorruptible is a raw look at political activism in Senegal during a tense moment in 2011. The tension is palpable as the youth rise up against President Wade's attempts to cling to power. Vasarhelyi's direction captures the energy of the protests and the vibrancy of the artists involved. The film weaves together personal stories and broader themes of democracy and resistance. You really feel the urgency in the pacing, and those moments of artistic expression contrast sharply with the political turmoil. It's an intimate snapshot of a pivotal moment in African political history, with performances that resonate deeply. The blend of documentary style with on-the-ground activism feels distinct and refreshing.
