Evidence suggests that the question of migrations nowadays has become a major challenge of political, social and imaginary life of many societies in the World. In addition to South-South migrations, the migrations from Africa to Europe are which mass media pay more attention. If the migration is widespread in the World, the symbol of the present boat people awakes painful memories (arabo-occidental slavery) in the particular case of the Black African postcolonial migrant. In El Metro (2007), Donato Ndongo uses that image to show the danger, the insecurity of clandestine migrants to sea.
