Circus Without Borders

Feature - 70 min Broadcast - 52 min

Best friends and world-class acrobats from remote corners of the globe who share the same dream

Circus Without Borders One is ​from a remote Inuit community in the Arctic Tundra, the other from the bustling but poverty-stricken capital of Guinea, West Africa. But Guillaume Saladin and Yamoussa Bangoura share a dream: take circus to the youth in their communities. Filmed between two locations at the opposite ends of the world, Circus without Borders introduces two figures committed to change, with the talent to achieve it.

"Seldom does an audience leap to its feet and erupt in cheers at the end of a movie. Yet that's exactly what happened... on July 29, when about 300 applauding, whistling, and yes, teary-eyed viewers rose simultaneously in a cacophony of whoops and hollers as the closing credits rolled."
