Burkina Faso 4 Years Later: Real Progress or Just Hype?

It's been almost four years since Ibrahim Traoré took over Burkina Faso, and the internet is split some call it Africa's biggest comeback story, others call it hype. So I flew from Kenya to Ouagadougou to see it for myself. In this documentary, I go inside Faso Mêbo, Burkina Faso's national road-building initiative, tour the country's newly acquired fleet of public buses, visit a local solar energy company turning Sahel heat into power, meet a Burkinabè entrepreneur named Patrick who left the diaspora to build an electric car taxi business, and sit down with the men who volunteer to guard the President by sleeping on the street and the women who bring them food during Ramadan. I also catch a match at the newly renovated Stade du 4-Août and end up shooting pitch-side as a volunteer photographer. This is not a hype video, and it's not a takedown. It's what I actually saw, heard, and questioned on the ground in Burkina Faso today.
