Ein Rallye-Spektakel macht sich aus dem Staub - auf den Spuren der'Dakar' 2007 geht der Film'7915 KM' auf die Suche und begegnet in Marokko, der Republik Sahara, Mauretanien, Mali und dem Senegal der vielfältigen Gegenwart Afrikas.'7915 KM' macht die Distanz deutlich, die durch politische und wirtschaftliche Verhältnisse, aber auch die gegenseitigen Vorstellungen und Vorurteile zwischen Europa und Afrika geschaffen wird. Und er macht die Nähe spürbar, die sich in den Erzählungen über den Alltag, die Arbeit, Sorgen und Hoffnungen auftut. Ohne die ernüchternde Realität aus den Augen zu verlieren, entsteht so eine Hommage an Menschlichkeit und Langsamkeit, die eingefahrene Wahrnehmungen in Frage stellt und viele vermeintlich afrikanische Probleme auf uns selbst zurückwirft.


_______________________


A motor-sports spectacle that kicks up plenty of dust. On the trail of the 2007 Dakar Rallye'7915 KM' undertakes a search, along the way encountering the variety to be found in Africa's present in Morocco, West Sahara, Mauritania, Mali and Senegal.'7915 KM' demonstrates the extent of this distance, which is the result of political and economic conditions, and also the ideas and prejudices to be found in both Europe and Africa. It also makes the closeness tangible, which becomes clear in the stories of everyday life, work, hopes and worries. Keeping the sobering reality in mind, it creates an homage to humanity and slowness which questions deep-seated perceptions and the role of Europeans in numerous, presumably African, problems.
