La giornata di Richard \u00e8 un viaggio ininterrotto per la sopravvivenza. Procurarsi l’acqua, recuperare preziose gocce di nafta dalle tubature, provare a rivenderla ai bordi della strada, andare a scuola, studiare nel dormitorio, ripartire in cerca d’acqua… Per poter proseguire gli studi e tentare di rompere il circolo vizioso in cui \u00e8 intrappolato, Richard non pu\u00f2 mai fermarsi. Sullo sfondo, la condizione della regione del Delta del Niger, un patrimonio naturalistico di straordinario valore, dove le compagnie petrolifere che sfruttano i pozzi, inquinando terra e mare, contribuiscono all\u2019impoverimento della popolazione. <\/span><\/p>\n

For Richard, life is an unending cyclical journey to scratch out a living. Fetch water, take diesel from the pipeline, try to sell it by the side of the road, go to school, study in the dorm, fetch water again. If he wants to reach his goal – to get his education and use it to break out of the vicious circle of his life – he can’t stop. In a lively observation, the film director brings us closer to the life of poor Africans in the Niger River Delta. Close to natural heritage of enormous value, a huge agglomeration of residents suffers, to whom massive oil extraction that brutally destroys the environment, often polluting land and sea, brings only meager extra income.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
