Kazungu, de metis

Spoken: Dutch/French. Subtitles: Dutch.

The author, born from a clandestine mixed relationship and adopted by a Belgian family at the age of fourteen, started a quest to find his maternal parents. Not only being a search for identity, the film also puts on trial the colonial spirit of Africa in the 50's and the deep intolerance towards mixed relationships which where, at the time, scorned up. The children from these clandestine loves were denied all social recognition and where taken in by the Catholic Church who attempted to hide the fruits of sins. Without any family, roots, or reference to any culture, taken away from their mothers, unrecognised by their fathers, theses children where displaced where ever they went. Georges Kamanayo Gengoux made the decision to try to find his mother in Africa and his father in France, to understand the clandestine love from which he is born, to accept it and to forgive.
