Black poet and activist Femi Nylander goes on an impressive journey that connects past and present. Like most of us, he only knows about the colonial past from one-sided Western history books. At best, it is something you read about and discuss, but not something you - even as a black student - really feel and experience. Nylander travels to Niger in search of the history that is not taught in school. His guide is the route taken by the bloodthirsty French captain Paul Voulet in 1898, at the same time as Joseph Conrad wrote his famous novel. The unknown story of the bloodthirsty captain can still be felt in Niger generations later. It is an important part of a history that has been underexposed for far too long.
