Bolingo is about the journey travelled by many women from the heart of Africa to the North of Morocco, following their “European dream”.

Some of them give birth in the Bolingo camp, or in other camps built next to the border between Morocco and Spain.

Bolingo means “love” in Lingala, the language spoken by the Congolese migrants who decided to give a touch of humanity to the hard drama their fellow migrants suffer as they cross North Africa. They created this camp so migrant women can live with their children while waiting to cross the border into Europe.

“Bolingo: The Forest of Love” shows these mothers who struggle for survival, raising their children in difficult conditions.
