This ten-part series by Ivorian filmmaker Alex Ogou focuses on the everyday lives of violent street gangs that make entire districts of Abidjan unsafe. Exciting and touching at the same time, INVISIBLES sheds light on the social phenomenon of disoriented young people who actually only join the gangs to fight for a better life. In September 2018, INVISIBLES was the first francophone African series to be awarded the “Out of Africa” prize and won the prize for the best foreign francophone story at the La Rochelle Festival.
