Migration and relations between African and European countries is a common theme among many African films. Abderrahmane Sissako's film "Waiting for Happiness" portrays a Mauritanian city struggling against foreign influences through the journey of a migrant coming home from Europe. Migration is also an important theme in Mahamat Saleh Haroun's film "Une Saison en France," which shows the journey of a family from the Central African Republic seeking asylum in France. Haroun is part of the Chadian diaspora in France, and uses the film to explore aspects of this diasporan experience.
