Beyond the lyricism of its narration, the documentary is structured as a thriller, unfolding in the style of a road movie filmed as direct cinema. The driving force of the film is to discover who Idrissa was. The goal is to reveal the circumstances surrounding his death and why they were never clarified.<\/p>\n<p>The team begins by looking for Idrissa&#8217;s family, a complicated search as the Spanish authorities that deal with immigration control are not willing to cooperate. In an exercise of justice, memory and reparation, Idrissa&#8217;s remains are returned to the small town of Guinea where he was born, with his family.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/d_idrissa.php\">Idrissa, Chronicle of an ordinary death<\/a><\/em>\u00a0is immersed in the tradition of political cinema, the type of cinema that asks questions, leaving no-one indifferent, in its quest to uncover and discover answers.<\/p>\n<p>The documentary, by the directors of\u00a0<em>Ciutat Morta<\/em>\u00a0Xavier Artigas and Xapo Ortega, is a production of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/polarstarfilms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polar Star Films<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/metromuster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metromuster<\/a>, with the support of ICAA, ICEC, MEDIA, Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and TV3; and with the collaboration of Tanquem els CIE, Ir\u00eddia and La Directa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 15th,\u00a0Idrissa, Chronicle of an ordinary death\u00a0goes on national release in cinemas across Spain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108,"featured_media":3036,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[112],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-documentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/108"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3089"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3089\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4886,"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3089\/revisions\/4886"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polarstarfilms.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
