Emitaï

With a deep understanding of the oppressive forces that have shaped Senegalese history, Ousmane Sembène’s work of revolutionary outrage chronicles a period during World War II when French colonial forces conscripted young Diola men and attempted to seize rice stores for soldiers back in Europe—and, in the process, discovers a people’s hidden reserves of rebellion and dignity.
