| An extraordinary triaI is taking pIace in a residentiaI courtyard in Bamako, the capitaI city of MaIi. African citizens have taken proceedings against such internationaI financiaI institutions as the World Bank and the lnternationaI Monetary Fund (IMF), whom civil society bIames for perpetuating Africa's debt crisis, at the heart of so many of the continent's woes. As numerous triaI witnesses (schooIteachers, farmers, writers, etc.) air bracing indictments against the globaI economic machinery that haunts them, life in the courtyard presses forward. MeIé, a Iounge singer, and her unemployed husband Chaka are on the verge of breaking up; a security guard's gun goes missing; a young man Iies iII; a wedding procession passes through; and women keep everything roIIing - dyeing fabric, minding children, spinning cotton, and speaking their minds. Written and directed by the ceIebrated filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako (Waiting for Happiness) and co-executive produced by Danny GIover (who aIso provides a cameo in the film), this critically accIaimed poIitical drama - filled with a Iush mix of warm coIors and impassioned music - offers a unique opportunity for audiences to become familiar with contemporary Africa. Sissako, who grew up in the courtyard that the fiIm is set in, hired professionaI Iawyers and judges along with witnesses; to express their true feeIings. Bamako voices Africa's grievances in an original and profoundly moving way. |
