We students!
Rafiki Fariala - Central African Republic
Synopsis
Nestor, Aron, Benjamin and Rafiki are economics undergraduates at the University of Bangui. Navigating between the overcrowded classrooms, the petty trades that allow students to survive, bribery lurking everywhere, Rafiki shows us what students lives are like in the Central African Republic, a shattered society where the youth keep dreaming of a brighter future for their country.

Rafiki Fariala
Born in 1997 in Uvira, Kivu (DRC), of Congolese parents, Rafiki Fariala arrived early in the Central African Republic, where his parents took refuge because of the war. He is one of the promising figures of Bangui’s musical scene. In 2017, he was selected to take part in the documentary workshop organised in Bangui by Ateliers Varan and he directed his first film, Mbi na Mo (You and Me). The film was selected at the Lausanne, Montreal, St Denis and Lille festivals, and at the Biarritz FIPADOC.
