There are 2 versions of the film (48 and 90 minutes). The shorter version

'Road
to Baleya' is a feature documentary film in which Canadian
and Malian musicians come together on an 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. |
