The Burkinabe author and actress Roukiata Ouédraogo recounts with much mockery and self-irony her life’s journey, rich in adventures, which has led her from elementary school in Burkina Faso to the stages of Paris. JE DEMANDE LA ROUTE is an initiatory journey into a world full of rawness and a reflection on cultural differences that is both witty and sensitive. Her arrival in France as a penniless migrant, a professional career without a school diploma ranging from a casual job to attending the famous acting school at the Cours Florent: Ouedrago takes her fate into her own hands. JE DEMANDE LA ROUTE turns this personal testimony into an epic that is both funny and moving.
