15. INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL WATCH DOCS (2015)

THE LEADER, HIS DRIVER AND THE DRIVER'S WIFE

Walked out. The camera just follows the crew as they try to get an interview with someone not well known anyway. He doesn't have time for them. I decided not to waste mine either.

HYVASTI AFRIKKA (LEAVING AFRICA)

Watchable. Two close women friends: one Finnish and one Tanzanian have been providing sexual education and fighting stereotypes in Africa for decades. Now they're facing a smear campaign. While the film lacks clear-cut conclusion, it's just endearing to watch their friendship and entertaining classes.

MY JIHAD

Recommended. It shows the jihadists' recruitment process and gives hope presenting Muslim counsellors working with youngsters to keep them on the right pious path of Islam.


MON ROI

Walked out. A protracted film about weirdos, including a drug addict, who, halfway through the film, have a baby.  No way of identifying myself with any of the protagonists.
