Why I’m shooting a feature on Thomas Sankara — Fabian Lojede

Fabian has worked extensively in South Africa since 2003 on creative development, execution, and production of major Pan-African campaigns. He has since produced his own feature films, including co-producing ‘Comatose’, a dramatic afro-futurism film which explores an African perspective on euthanasia.

PT: You recently announced your intention to produce a feature on the Burkina Faso’s Pan-African leader Thomas Sankara. What informed the decision?Sankara is renowned as a charismatic and iconic figure of revolution. Through his efforts, his country fought imperialism and corruption. He was seen as a man of the people who pushed for a united front of African nations. I recently visited his family house and his village and it was an amazing and humbling experience.

And was such a story that allows us to explore so many things that I personally find troubling within black and African societies. In a way, ‘Comatose’ as a film is not just dealing with the issue of euthanasia but from an African perspective, it’s also dealing with how, from a society point of view, there are so many things that in our society, actually in a state of comatose, whether it’s our culture, spirituality, politics, and the film in a way touch, thematically on some of these issues.
