DEAR EUROPE (54 minutes) Belgium, Guinea, Netherlands Directors/Producers: Ingeborg Beugel, Cees Overgaauw

On August 2, 1999, two illegal passengers were found dead in the luggage compartment of a Sabena airplane. According to the airline authorities, the two boys from Guinea, Africa had frozen to death. Apart from some clothes and a student pass, which revealed their identities, a letter was found on their persons addressed to the leaders of Europe. The letter was a desperate plea to Europe to rescue Africa from its vast problems of crippling poverty, lack of educational and health amenities, and it's suffering populace. Based on the accounts of those who knew Yaguine Koita and Fode` Tounkara, this film tells the story they can no longer tell themselves.
