IMPACT DAYS

Le village de Tombo prospère dans la péninsule de Freetown depuis l’époque précoloniale; ses habitants vivent de la mer tout en prenant soin de celle-ci afin qu’elle continue à nourrir les générations futures. Seulement, depuis des décennies, cette richesse est en déclin en raison de l’afflux de chalutiers asiatiques pratiquant la surpêche sur leurs côtes avec le soutien clandestin de fonctionnaires corrompus. Les femmes du village perdent leur travail, car la plupart d’entre elles gagnent leur vie en transformant les prises et en les vendant au marché; Leurs maris et leurs fils sont souvent contraints d’abandonner la pêche à Tombo et de chercher du travail dans d’autres pays. Sullay et Woodie s’efforcent d’unir leur communauté fragilisée, mais y parviendront-ils face à ces puissants obstacles ?
