Following the success of its first documentary titled “Senegal: One Power, Two Terms,” AfricTivistes continues to celebrate Senegalese democracy with a new film, “Victory of Democracy: Insights from Senegal.” This work explores the resilience of a country that, despite political challenges and rising social tensions, remains an example of democratic stability in a region marked by recurring crises.

This 50-minute documentary immerses viewers in the socio-political events that have recently shaken Senegal, highlighting the mechanisms that enable the country to maintain its democratic balance. Through first hand testimonies from political figures, civic leaders, journalists, military personnel, and influential thinkers, the film recounts the recent struggles for justice, freedom, and good governance in Senegal. 

In a context where several West African countries are experiencing faltering democracies, Senegal draws its strength from the unwavering commitment of its citizens, the crucial role of its institutions (including the military), and the mobilization of its youth, civil society, and diaspora.

This production aims to raise awareness among the population and remind them of the importance of protecting civic space and fundamental rights in the face of any attempts to undermine democratic achievements.

Ultimately, with this new production, AfricTivistes reaffirms its commitment to defending and consolidating democratic gains in Africa and invites citizens, both in Senegal and elsewhere, to remain vigilant and mobilised to preserve their sovereignty and freedoms.
