Teranga follows Fata and Yankuba, two young Gambian migrants with distinct and ambitious dreams. They both fled dictatorship and poverty, and landed in Naples only to discover a new kind of violence: a pernicious climate of racism and a corrupt immigration system. Their only solace escape from the psychological torture of years spent waiting for documents in squalid camps is a small underground club in the heart of the city called Teranga.
