Quote:
Set in a small African village, four young girls face a ritual “purification” flee to the household of Colle’ Ardo Gallo Sy, a strong-willed woman who has managed to shield her own teenage daughter from mutilation.
Colle’ invokes the time-honored custom of moolaade (sanctuary) to protect the fugitives, and tension mounts as the ensuing stand-off pits Colle’ against a village traditionalists (both male and female) and endangers the prospective marriage of her daughter to the heir-apparent to the tribal throne.

Quote:
Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female genital cutting and female circumcision, is the ritual removal of some or all of the external female genitalia.
Traditionally, it is cut with an iron sheet or a knife, then sutured back with needlework or a thorn. There is no anesthetic during the whole process, and the disinfection is not thorough.
Gynecologist Dr Rosemary Mburu of Kenya estimate that as many as 15% of circumcised girls die of the excessive loss of blood or infection of the wound.
Even the girls who survive the circumcision will endure lifelong pain. The lower part of the body is always in pain while having sexual intercourse, urinating, or even working. This affects their ability to achieve orgasm or sexual pleasure of any kind and might also affect fertility.

Quote:
In a village outside Dakar, the gods – or the stars, or destiny, have spoken: Satché must die by the end of the day. Directed by Alain Gomis and starring multi-hyphenate, multidisciplinary artist Saul Williams, “Tey” is a beautiful, sensual, humane tale with beautiful scenes that seek to show the elements of friendship, desire, sadness, affection and anger that are usually left unsaid.

The post Alain Gomis – Aujourd’hui AKA Tey AKA Today (2012) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Fad,Jal is a Serere Senegalese village. At school, children learn, in French, the grammar and history of France. Villagers practice their religion in a church, a vestige of colonialism. At the foot of a tree, the ancestor and a griot tell in Wolof the history of the village to the children, its creation, its customs, its traditions. This is an opportunity to discover the crafts, agricultural techniques and the difficulty of exploiting the land because of the drought. In parallel, the daily Serere is confronted to the governmental policy which appropriates from now on the lands, previously transmitted orally between the villagers.

The post Ababacar Samb-Makharam – Et la neige n’etait plus AKA And the Snow Was Gone (1966) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This Senegalese melodrama tells the story of a young girl called Mossane who lives in a village between the ocean and the savannah. There, veneration for the traditions is very common. There’s a legend saying that every other century a girl is born who is doomed because of her beauty. Mossane is only fourteen years old but is already considered to be extraordinary beautiful. Even her own brother is in love with her. According to the custom she has been promised to a rather wealthy man called Diogoye since the day of her birth. However, Mossane is in love with the poor student Fara who is forced to return to the village while the university is on strike. Torn between her own dreams and traditions, Mossane decides to escape. The film shows the resistance of the young generation and is dedicated especially to the African women, their courage and their wish for emancipation.
