Synopsis

Ahmad Akbar, cinéaste, voit grand.
Son projet : créer un lieu de cinéma exclusivement réservé aux cinéastes noirs, quelque part dans le désert, loin de Los Angeles, loin de Hollywood.
Cineland. That’s the name of that place, man. Cineland!
Akbar, lui aussi, fait le rêve américain – la version noire de l’American Dream.
La version blanche était fragile.
La version noire est désespérée.

Ahmad Akbar, a filmmaker, is thinking big.
His plan: to create a cinema exclusively for black filmmakers, somewhere in the desert, far from Los Angeles, far from Hollywood.
Cineland. That’s the name of that place, man. Cineland!
Akbar makes the American Dream too – the Black version of the American Dream.
The White version was fragile.
The Black version is desperate.
