Burkina Faso's name means "land of upright people," and this film traces how that identity took shape under Thomas Sankara, the revolutionary president who nationalized land and pushed literacy and vaccination campaigns before his assassination in 1987. Decades later, when longtime ruler Blaise Compaoré tried to extend his time in power, musicians, farmers, and street artists cite Sankara's example directly as they organize the 2014 uprising that forced him out. Interviews with hip-hop artists, women's cooperatives, and community organizers show a political culture still built around Sankara's slogans and imagery, from murals of his face to songs quoting his speeches. The film follows organizers meeting in Ouagadougou, farmers describing land reforms that outlasted the government that started them, and young activists explaining why they see themselves as continuing unfinished work rather than starting something new. It is a portrait of a small, landlocked country where one assassinated leader's ideas kept resurfacing in protest movements three decades after his death.
