The Casamance area is one of Africa’s popular tourist destinations, thanks to its beautiful beaches. But as one journeys up the Casamance River and into the region’s interior, a very different image of Casamance is revealed. In this landscape, split up into many islands, life can be very difficult. Here, lives the Jola, a proud and autonomous ethnic group. They are committed to preserving their independence and their culture. Jola women and men embody a heritage of pride and a deep engagement to conserving their people’s integrity.
