TV version of the film was originally broadcast on Bravo! on March 11/08, but is being re-broadcast regularly.

Premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival (Aug/08)

Some of the info posted back when the trip was made is here:
Musical adventures in Mali

Bravo Channel

There are 2 versions of the film. The shorter version (48 minutes) is being shown on Bravo. The full-length feature version (90 minutes) will be coming to a theatre and film festival near you at a later date (see Aug 27-29/08 'shows' at Montreal World Film Festival).


Two short clips of video (of Bamako street scenes and of our arrival in the village of Baleya) can be seen by clicking on the two pictures at the bottom of this page.

'Road to Baleya' is a feature documentary film in which Canadian and Malian musicians come together on a journey of musical collaboration and friendship in Mali, West Africa. Produced by award winning Canadian filmmaker Bay Weyman (Spirits of Havana), it follows the interactions between Malian griot Mansa Sissoko and Canadian musicians Lewis Melville, Dave Clark, Dale Morningstar and Tannis Slimmon as they travel to Mansa’s home village of Baleya. The film explores themes of music as a path to social and economic development, and intersects with the very personal toll exacted by malaria in one of the poorest countries in the world.
