“DARE – To Take That First Step” is a documentary filmed and directed by Silvia Tonelli and produced by NoOx Worldwide.
In May 2021, Silvia Nocentini, 26, launched her music industry business and decided to embark on a journey to Senegal.
For Sek, an Italian-Senegalese artist, this is an opportunity to rediscover his roots after 12 years of being away.
Waiting for them in Dakar is F.U.L.A., who had moved to Senegal a year earlier.
Together, they aim to make the most of the Senegalese music industry in just 10 days.
That’s not all. Along the way, the documentary delves into the identities and aspirations of each individual, capturing intimate moments that add emotional depth to the film.
With DARE, we witness young entrepreneurs, cross-cultural connections coming together on a single format.
