Thomas Sankara rose to power in Burkina Faso in a popularly supported coup in 1983. To symbolize this rebirth, he renamed his country from the French colonial Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, Land of Upright Men" and launched the most ambitious program for social and economic change ever attempted on the African continent.

Rest in peace.
I am an admirer, he was driven by genuine love of the people. A good man.
I only just learned about him today. He is a true hero and would have made Africa into a powerful, unified block against imperialism!
The greatest leader the world has seen in the past century.
We need more leaders in Africa like Gen. Thomas Sankara. We have too many greedy leaders in Africa who are ruining our continent. Future leaders should try and emulate this icon of a leader, not only in Africa but around the world.

I can't believe I'd never heard of this brother until today :-(
Sankara was a good man.
I couldn't watch this without getting chills behind my spine
My man!!!! God took him away. I pray that God brings his spirit back in Africa because we really need it...
we were robbed of one of the greatest leaders. if only more of our our leaders could have his good qualities, vision and bravery. this is one of the saddest what if stories.
A GREAT MAN

Uomini, che si incontrano camminando sullo stesso pianeta, uomini che percorrono il medesimo viaggio, uomini che un giorno dovranno rispondere ad alcune domande... SANKARA è stato uno di questi uomini che ha abitato la terra rispettandola, amando se stesso e gli altri, ha camminato leggero su di essa, senza offenderla, LUI ha risposto con orgoglio alle domande del SIGNORE.
