Idrissa Ouedraogo – Yam Daabo AKA The Choice (1987)

Quote:
Burkina Faso, West Africa. Poverty and misery breaks out with a vengeance in Gourga, a village within the borders of the Sahel. For the people of the country, a choice has to be made: either await international assistance or travel further inland to the richer preas of the country. Salam, a peasant, and his family opt for the second solution, with all the sacrifices that this entails. A new life can now begin for them. They discover love, joy, hate, violence, feelings which hunger and thirst had made them forget.

A family struggles to survive the harsh drought and deadly famine in this engaging drama. A farming family consisting of an aging mother and father travel South with their young son Ali, their marriageable daughter Bintou, and her sweetheart Salam. When they stop in the city to sell their donkey, young Ali is struck by a car and killed. The group continues and eventually meets up with friends who take in the beleaguered travelers. Bintou and Salam anticipate the birth of their baby when the family reaches the lush greenery of the South.
