About Eye of the Storm
At a war crimes trial in an African country, an idealistic lawyer delves into the past of a man who, accused of committing unspeakable atrocities, is treated as an inhuman monster.
Directed by Sékou Traoré, Eye of the Storm leans on a strong ensemble — Maimouna N'Diaye, Fargass Assandé, Abidine Dioari — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
