About Sie A.

Well I am Adams Sie, a Senegalese Documentary Filmmaker. Stories, I can't tell which one I like best... As I am concerned, and in relation to stories... all stories are important as long as they have the human story in them. Story that reflect actual facts of people, animals, places etc. A story that draws me closer to feel the emotion deeply within and outside my human body due to the authenticity and originality of the story told. Those are the kind of stories I loved.
