Part historical epic, part Brechtian follies, Mauritanian‑born French director, producer, screenwriter, and actor Med Hondo traces four centuries of French colonialism across the West Indies, Europe, and the Middle Passage, all staged on a wooden slave ship constructed in an abandoned Citroën factory.
