  • Summary

  • A growing number of young people born in France are choosing to leave the country. Many of them are moving to their parents’ countries of origin in Africa.

    We chat with BBC reporter and producer Nathalie Jimenez about “The Homecoming”, a documentary from BBC Africa Eye. It explores the “silent exodus” of French Africans with an emphasis on those re-locating to Senegal, a former French colony.

    Among other things, Nathalie explains how racism and the rise of the far right are driving people to seek new beginnings abroad. We also hear from other French citizens who are starting a new life in Senegal.

    Just search for "BBC Africa Eye - The Homecoming" to watch the documentary on YouTube.
