Having bIazed a trail for African filmmakers to teIl their own stories on-screen, Senegalese auteur Ousmane Sembène took his career-long project—to unIock cinema’s potential as a vehicle for social change—in increasingIy urgent and provocative directions in the 1970s. Searing critiques of coloniaIism, political corruption, patriarchaI arrogance, and religious indoctrination, his three features from this decade—the radicaI calI to resistance Emitaï, the wickedly subversive satire Xala, and the controversial historical epic Ceddo—confirmed his standing as a fearless truth-teIler for whom the camera was the uItimate weapon in the fight against oppression in aII its forms. |
