A Senegalese fishing village that cannot live off the sea any more after fishing licenses were sold to the EU fights against illegal emigration - against all odds.
The "cry of the Sea" is the struggle of a mother, Yaye Bayam DIOUF, who lost her only son in a dugout (or boat) for the Canary Islands. Today, all her life in "Thiaroye sur Mer" is devoted to fight against clandestine immigration. The "Cry of the Sea" is also a heartfelt cry, a singular point of view on a plague which has carried more than three thousand young Senegaleses.
