Product Description

Ousmane Sembene, the 81-year-old Senegalese filmmaker, is often refered to as the father of African cinema, but he is a patriarch with evident feminist sympathies. Set in a village in Burkina Faso, his latest film tackles the subject of female genital mutilation, but its political resonance is hardly limited to the parts of Africa where that custom is practiced. Colle (Fatoumata Coulibaly), the tough-minded second wife of a village elder, offers protection to four young girls who have fled the knives and starts a revolution. In chronicling her struggle with male power and deeply-rooted tradition, Mr. Sembene also paints a rich and complex tableau of village life, which gives the film, in spite of its harsh topic, a remarkable bouyancy of spirit. Unflinching both in its condemnation of genital mutilation and in its warm-hearted optimism, "Moolaade" is an example of humanist cinema at its finest, a movie that reminds you of the dignity and heroism of ordinary life. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cannes Film Festival, European Film Awards,

Moolaad� [UK import, Region 2 PAL format] Review

This film is an amazing window into another culture. We find ourselves in an African village where co-wives cooperate over day to day tasks and Islam plays a big part in daily life. This movie is a critical examination of the process of female circumcision/genital mutililation and its traumatic consequences but is also a skillfully woven story with an interesting plot that builds to a dramatic resolution. This film would be excellent for a women's course and should also be seen by Africans and others in any culture where female circumcision is currently practiced.
