"Neither Chains, Nor Masters": Maroonage in History. Film screening and discussion with the director
1759. Mauritius is in the hands of the Kingdom of France. Massamba and Mati, slaves on Eugène Larcenet's plantation, live in fear and toil. He dreams of his daughter being freed, she of leaving the green hell of sugar cane. One night, she runs away. Madame la Victoire, a famous slave hunter, is hired to hunt her down. Massamba has no choice but to escape in turn. By this act, he becomes a "maroon," a fugitive who breaks forever with the colonial order...
The session will be followed by a discussion with director and screenwriter Simon Moutaïrou, hosted by Ibikéyé.
