5 good reasons to watch "Black Soldier" by Jimmy Laporal - Trésor

Yé Moun La! Let me share 5 good reasons to watch “Ki-W La Ki-W Pa La” [“With or Without You”] (2021) by Yannick Rosine, a filmmaker from Guadeloupe. This short film was released in 2021 and was selected in several international film festivals included the Conch Shell International Film Festival. Make sure to stream the film between October 10th - 13th. 

Reason #1 - Coming-of-age story from a Black boy’s point of view

Reason #2 - The reinterpretation of Black clichés (check out my “⁠Black single mothers in US Black sitcoms from the 90's” episode)

Reason #3 - The representation of the difficult lifestyle of Guadeloupean/Martinican people in France in the 80’s

(Check out my “O Madiana” review and my “Le Gang des Antillais” review)

Reason #4 - The representation of universality

Reason #5 - My favorite French Black actors are in this film
