Has God Forsaken Africa?
Has God Forsaken Africa? (original French title: Dieu a-t-il quitté l’Afrique?) is a Canadian 2008 documentary film.

Synopsis 
Brussels, August 1999. Two teenagers from Guinea are found dead in the landing gear of a plane arriving from Conakry. Each year, thousands of young Africans risk their lives to flee the African continent. Shocked by this phenomenon, the Senegalese-born director Musa Dieng Kala returns to Dakar to try to understand why they do it. He films five young adults seeking to immigrate to the West at any cost reflecting the international indifference, the indifference of the African leaders and a society with no resources.
