DESCRIPTION:About the Film\nThis tough, powerful first dramatic feature from Fanta 
 Régina Nacro (who, with her documentaries, was the first woman filmmaker 
 in Burkina Faso) is a stunning parable about genocidal civil war in Africa. 
 In a fictitious country, preparations are underway for a peace ceremony 
 between the governing Nayak and rebel Bonande tribes. Le President (Adama 
 Ouedraougo) and Bonande Colonel Theo (Commandant Moussa Cissé) are keen to 
 put their mutual history of atrocities in the past, but there are forces, 
 including the President’s resentful wife (Naky Sy Savane) who have other 
 ideas. Nacro’s tale does not shy away from the devastation that African 
 tribal wars have caused, and this strong and eloquent narrative 
 successfully achieves a level of Shakespearean tragedy. This film will stay 
 in your memory, but please note that there are disturbing images.\n\nIn 
 Dioula and French with English subtitles.\nWriters: Marc Gautron, Fanta 
 Régina Nacro. Director: Fanta Régina Nacro. (Burkina Faso 2004) 100 min.
