Salman Wants To Go

Overview

Salmane is a Senegalese refugee living in Turkey. He dreams of moving to Europe, continuing his unfinished university life and supporting his family financially. During his time in Turkey, he works in different jobs and saves money to go to Europe. He makes several attempts to cross into Europe via Greece, but each time he is beaten and sent back to Turkey. Salmane, who disappeared on the day his documentary was shot, is never heard from again. While following Salmane's own text, the film unearths the memories he left behind with the help of the memories on his phone.
