Reporters caught between dictatorship and Chinafrica.

Neighbors Karim and Vincent, reporters based in Addis-Ababa, meet daily for coffee, discovering and exploring—often together, sometimes alone—a rapidly changing land, a crucible of the continent’s transformations.
Ethiopia is Africa's second most populous nation. The only one that was never colonized, it longs to be seen as the “African lion." Both journalists are on hand to observe this forced march to modernization, paved by bulldozers and Chinese funds. But tensions inevitably arise among the multi-ethnic people silenced by their government.
From bloated press conferences to political protests, Karim and Vincent try their hardest to do their jobs with the limited freedom they have there.
