Original and thought-provoking. Colorful depiction of rural life in Africa. Here is a no frills, no big production that is honest and gritty, yet colorful and endearing. Engaging story keeps you wondering what the big is while portraying the trials of a young African woman trying to get her father to allow her to go to school. You don't know where it is going at first but it doesnn't matter because the scenes are so engaging. The Grand idea is kept secret until very end which keeps you guessing all along the way. The sub-story of the teen girl desparately wanting an education is a real eye-opener for teens. Great soundtrack. Sub-titled.
Binta, a 7-year-old girl, lives in a small charming village on the Casamance river in southern Senegal. She goes to school. Her cousin Soda does not have the same good fortune. She is not allowed to learn about the world. Binta admires her father, a humble fisherman who, concerned about the development of mankind, is determined to carry out an idea that has occurred to him.
