'Retour Gore' (English: 'Return to Gore') is a 2007 musical documentary road movie directed by Pierre-Yves Borgeaud, featuring singer Youssou N'Dour's journey along the trail left by slaves and by the jazz music they invented. Youssou N'Dour's challenge is to bring back to Africa a jazz repertoire and to sing those tunes in Goree, the island that today symbolizes the slave trade and stands to commemorate its victims. Guided in his mission by the pianist Moncef Genoud, Youssou N'Dour travels across the United States of America and Europe. Accompanied by some of the world's most exceptional musicians, they meet peoples and well known figures, and create, through concerts, encounters and debates. Their music transcends cultural division.[http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/09/19/DDMQ1311DQ.DTL A review of 'Youssou N'Dour: Return to Goree' in the San Francisco Chronicle], September 19, 2008
