Moolaade
Ousmane Sembene is regarded as the Father of African Cinema. His career stretches over a period of more than forty years and he is still very active as a writer and film maker. A patriarch with obvious feminist sympathies, in this film he tackles his most controversial subject to date: female circumcision. Colle Gallo Ardo Sy, a circumcised woman, has managed to help her only daughter escape from the ritual of 'purification' organised every seven years. Now that the next ritual is about to happen, four young girls have fled from the village to escape from excision and are seeking protection (Moolaade) from Ardo. The village is at boiling point as two kinds of values clash dramatically: the right of protection and the attachment to tradition symbolised by excision. The film celebrates the strength of women in modern day Africa, to whom it is dedicated.
