Bravo
Channel
There are 2 versions of the film. The shorter version (48
minutes) is being shown on Bravo. The full-length feature version
(90 minutes) is being shown on the Documentary
channel.
Two short clips of video (of Bamako street scenes and of our arrival
in the village of Baleya) can be seen by clicking on the two pictures

'Road
to Baleya' is a feature documentary film in which
Canadian and Malian musicians come together on a journey of
musical collaboration and friendship in Mali, West Africa.
Produced by award winning Canadian filmmaker Bay Weyman of Close
Up Films (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. |
