East Lansing Film Festival screens "Souleymane's Story" on opening night

The 28th Annual East Lansing Film Festival held its opening night at Studio C in the Meridian Mall. This is the 28th year of the festival, with the first East Lansing Film Festival being held in 1997. The festival will run from November 6 to November 13 and will showcase over 40 films, ranging from feature-length films to short documentaries. The opening night feature film, “Souleymane’s Story,” was an exploration of a man’s struggle to obtain asylum in France while working tirelessly to make money through food delivery. Souleymane is an asylum seeker from Guinea-Conakry, and the film follows him as he navigates exploitative individuals, homelessness as he prepares for his make-or-break asylum interview.
