Ousmane Sembene's agitprop protest of the Islamic "purification" ritual -- clitoridectomy -- in a modern-day African village. Fine sense of place -- the colors, the light, the sounds, the daily activities. Slow-moving, stiff-moving narrative (nonetheless horrifying) and amateurish performances -- not all, but many. Fatoumata Coulibaly, Fatoumata Coulibaly, Maïmouna Hélène Diarra, Salimata Traoré, Dominique T. Zeïda. (2004) — Duncan Shepherd
