To celebrate Africa Day, Garter Lane Arts Centre and Waterford One World Centre will screen Zafara, a gorgeous French animation (from writer-director Rémi Bezancon) about the story of Maki, a young boy who escapes from slave traders to go on an epic voyage from Africa to France - befriending a giraffe, crossing the desert and meeting a pirate on his way. Under a baobab tree, an old man tells of the everlasting friendship between Maki and Zarafa, the orphaned giraffe who was a gift from Pasha of Egypt to the King of France. During their long journey from Sudan to Paris - travelling through Alexandria, Marseille and across the snowy Alps - they will live a thousand adventures. A charming and very touching animated adventure that will appeal to young explorers everywhere.
