SUMMARY:La Pirogue
DESCRIPTION:
 Presented by Ken Harrow, MSU Department of English\n
 \n
 In 
 coordination with One Book, One Community\n
 \n
 Moussa 
 Touré's drama chronicles a 
 group of West African immigrants who attempt 
 a hazardous illegal crossing to mainland Europe.\n
 Illuminating 
 the desperate and moving human 
 stories behind lurid headlines about illegal 
 immigration, La Pirogue is a colorful and 
 compelling drama about a boat full of would-be 
 economic migrants attempting the perilous 
 weeklong Atlantic crossing from Senegal to mainland 
 Europe. Capably directed by Moussa Touré, 
 a sometime politician and bittersweet chronicler 
 of his country's social woes in several 
 previous dramas and documentaries, this Un 
 Certain Regard entry at Cannes is dedicated 
 to the 5000 or so Africans who have died trying 
 to cross to Europe in the last decade.\n
