Road to America

Road to America - Baru Said is an Algerian teen with a talent for boxing. Although his country is starting to break away from its French colonizers, Said travels to Paris to pursue his boxing career. His brother is involved in fighting for Algerian independence from France but Said just wants to box. The full-color drawings bring Said’s story to life. Set in the 1950’s and 1960’s in a violently anti-Arab Paris, Road to America shows that the old saying is true: you can’t remain neutral on a moving train.
