Thomas Sankara: The African Dictator Who Truly Loved His Nation

He dreamed of a nation freed from hunger, corruption, and colonial chains. Instead, he was shot down at 37, betrayed by his closest friend. In just four years, Thomas Sankara tried to build a new Burkina Faso: land for peasants, schools for children, clean water for every village, equality for women, and an army that served the people instead of ruling them. He lived simply, owning nothing more than a modest house, two guitars, three bicycles, and a Renault 5. But his defiance of France, the IMF, and Africa’s entrenched elites sealed his fate. On October 15, 1987, gunfire in Ouagadougou ended the revolution. What followed was not progress, but a return to poverty, corruption, and foreign dependence. In this documentary we trace the rise and fall of Thomas Sankara, the African leader who refused to enrich himself, who fought to change everything, and whose death left behind one of the continent’s most haunting lost futures.
