The Homecoming: French Africans Leaving Europe for Ancestral Homelands (2024x16)

Air date: Oct 27, 2024

#BBCAfricaEye's The Homecoming explores this 'reverse migration', following their journeys to Senegal - the opposite route their parents made decades earlier. Whilst capturing the challenges they face in building a new life away from what they know, this film explores themes of belonging, identity, and the evolving relationship between Africa and its diaspora, offering a fresh perspective on migration and cross-cultural ties.
