BBC Africa Eye investigates the "silent exodus" from France of those fed up with racism and discrimination.

A growing number of young people born in France are choosing to leave the country. Many of them are moving to their parents’ countries of origin in Africa.

We chat with BBC reporter and producer Nathalie Jimenez about “The Homecoming”, a documentary from BBC Africa Eye. It explores the “silent exodus” of French Africans with an emphasis on those re-locating to Senegal, a former French colony.
