TRANSPORC.

41 pigs, three West African countries, hundreds of kilometres and a 45-year-old truck.
Thérèse, a determined entrepreneur, transports her animals from Senegal to Guinea-Bissau through The Gambia, navigating checkpoints, border crossings, and uncertainty along the way. She charts her course, moving between livestock farmers, markets, and borders. Transporc is a road trip documentary that lays bare both the visible and invisible borders of trade, faith, and survival in West Africa.
Since the filmmakers have been immersed in this world themselves for over a decade, they tell a story that offers an intimate journey into a little-known reality of trade, entrepreneurship, and resilience in West Africa.
