In Soleil Ô, Mauritanian director Med Hondo follows a young African man’s journey as he moves to Paris. Between burlesque, autobiography, allegory and guerrilla theatre, “the movie is not only a bitter firsthand analysis of economic migration but also a similarly cutting critique of systemic white supremacy. Half a century has scarcely blunted — and may have even enhanced — its relevance.” (New York Times 2020).
