A creative look at the role of the IMF and World Bank in Malian communities
"Abderrahmane Sissako’s seething, complicated and disarmingly beautiful investigation of Africa’s social, economic and human crises." -NYT
Malian film director Abderrahmane Sissako sets an outdoor 'trial of the world's major lenders in a neighbourhood courtyard in the Malian capital of Bamako. They stand accused by local citizen, who protest against policies on debt, trade and privatisation that have ravaged the African continent and stripped it of wealth. Daily life – a marriage break-up, a serious illness and a TV movie – are the background to the trial's proceedings.
Screening followed by a short discussion and Q&A around role of the international financial institutions in Africa.
