The Struggle to Pass Exams Taken to a New Height in Guinea:
Finding Light at Night
Every day during exam season, as the sun sets over Conakry, Guinea, hundreds of school children begin a nightly pilgrimage to the airport, petrol stations and wealthy parts of the city, searching for light. Black Out is an evocative documentary that tells the story of these children's inspiring struggle for education in the face of the country's own fight for change.
