Summary: | Winner of the Critic's Award at **FESPACO** (Africa's largest film festival) and named Best Film by an African Living Abroad at the **African Movie Academy Awards**, WHILE WE LIVE is a powerful narrative film about Kandia, an African woman living in Sweden for 30 years who decides to move back to Gambia. Her adolescent son Ibbe, who dreams of a career in hip hop and is about to make a breakthrough, goes with her. Their encounter with their homeland, however, doesn't turn out the way they imagined. A warm, broad drama comedy about a universal theme: identity.
