Burning In The Sun (English Burn-In)

26-year-old charmer Daniel Dembele is equal parts West African and European, and looking to make his mark on the world. Seizing the moment at a crossroads in his life, Daniel decides to return to his homeland in Mali and start a local business building solar panels - the first of its kind in the sun-drenched nation. Daniel's goal is to electrify the households of rural communities, 99% of which live without power.

My take

An inspiring yet grounded look at one man's audacious return home to solve an energy crisis. This is the kind of doc that blends personal transformation with real-world impact—hopeful without being naive, intimate without being self-congratulatory.
