Nsangata presented its script to the CCCB, which has assumed the production of the film together with the producer Alea Doc and Films and Catalunya's television, thanks to which it made real this project. The documentary "Black Catalonia" analyzes the conflicts of identity of the second generation of Catalans of sub-Saharan origin. The film reports four histories in first person. Those of Axel Serrat Agboton (Barcelona), Sanata Dembele (The Fulliola, Lleida), Tidiane Diedhiou (Barcelona) and Fàtima Yara (Teià).
