The people’s blood

A sumptuous dinner is hosted by an African leader and his wife for powerful international guests. As a young boy watches in silence, the Chef unveils the main dish — a slab of meat shaped like Africa. Each guest cuts their share as greed and tension rise. Through this silent tableau, The People’s Blood reveals the moral decay behind global politics and the exploitation of a continent.

The short film is the creative foundation for the feature-length political drama L’Ombre du Président.
