História
Sylvestre Amoussou (born 1964) is a Beninese actor turned film director, best known for his 2006 film Africa Paradis, a satire on immigration.
Amoussou was born 31 December 1964 in Benin. After living in France for twenty years, and experiencing the lack of interesting roles offered to black actors in France, he decided to make his own movies. In Africa Paradis, the politics of immigration is turned on its head: the economic fortunes of Europe and Africa are reversed, and immigrants struggle to gain entrance to Africa from Europe. Amoussou's anti-colonial film The African Storm (2017) received an enthusiastic reception from audiences at the Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou and received the festival's Silver Stallion of Yennega prize.

A small craftsman disappears, his brother, a grocer, searches for him and… to his surprise, he finds a misappropriation of Humanitarian Aid! Someone's lining their pockets, but who? And what is the little craftsman doing in there? Investigation, twists and turns, suspenses, prosecutions and murders follow! But, beyond this form, the substance never ceases to be present, namely: why do those who need it most accept to see a large part of the international donations intended for them disappear?
