Albertine Cinémathèque Film Festival - Bamako

Outside the modest home that singer Melé and her husband Chaka share with other families stands a make-shift open-air courtroom. The accused: The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the inequities of globalization perpetrated on all of Africa. One by one, witnesses take the stand in Sissako's pointed, nuanced meta-drama.
