The promise of African Youth:  Y’en a Marre holds the government accountable by getting thousands of young people to register to vote.

Produced by Edward Tyler Nahem and directed and co-produced by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, the film INCORRUPTIBLE documents the controversial presidential elections held in Senegal in 2012. Senegal was pitched into crisis when then sitting President Abdoulaye Wade decided unilaterally to rewrite the constitution to allow for a third term, upsetting what traditionally had been a more peaceful political landscape. A grass root artists youth movement made of rappers and journalists Y’en a Marre          (enough is enough), erupted to protect one of Africa’s oldest and most stable democracies. It called for the restoration of accountable representative democracy. What follows thrills, excites and inspires.

The film follows the main players of the 2012 election: incumbent President Wade, opposition candidate Macky Sall,  music superstar Youssou N’Dour, and the Y’en a Marre movement.

Unembellished and beautifully shot through a veritè lens, Incorruptible reads real and raw, as it serves to demonstrate what the youth of an African nation are capable of to preserve its democratic ideals, no matter how fierce, twisted and corrupt the opposition proves to be.

June 9th was its debut in the UK at the Sheffield doc/Fest and the North American debut is June 14 th at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
