Film synopsis: Fred has worked as a truck driver and foreman in West Africa for three years. He returns to Germany with his hard-earned money and wants to resume his old life. But he finds his wife is now living with another man. The people he used to know have changed. And Germany now appears to him as a cold, dirty industrial country in which life is not worthwhile. In the flophouse where he stays, he meets Alma. Together they travel through the country, dreaming of freedom and happiness in Sierra Leone. Uwe Schrader's second feature film, the only German entry at the 1987 Venice Film Festival, is a laconic look at a man in search of himself.

"Sierra Leone" was digitized by DFF - Deutsches Filminstitut und Filmmuseum as part of the film heritage funding program "Förderprogramm Filmerbe" (FFE) in 2019.

filmportal.de, the central internet platform for German cinema and a department of DFF - Deutsches Filminstitut und Filmmuseum, documents the progress and results of "Förderprogramm Filmerbe", which is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the German federal states and the German Federal Film Board. The first five minutes of feature-length films digitized with funding from the FFE are presented on filmportal.de to document the successful completion of the respective project.

Die Digitalisierung dieses Films wurde 2019 im Rahmen des Förderprogramm Filmerbe gefördert.

Das Förderprogramm Filmerbe (FFE) von BKM, den Ländern und FFA stellt seit dem 1. Januar 2019 für den Zeitraum von zehn Jahren jährlich bis zu 10 Millionen Euro für die Digitalisierung von Kinofilmen zur Verfügung.

Für die abendfüllenden Spiel- und Dokumentarfilme in diesem Förderprogramm stellt filmportal.de die jeweiligen Filmanfänge bereit. Eine Übersicht über alle geförderten Filme auf filmportal.de finden Sie hier.
