widely regarded as the first sub saharan african feature film, it follows the life of a young girl moving from dakar to work for a french colonial family as a nanny. it ended up being completely made in french instead of senegalese wolof because of interference from the french ministry of cooperation and film bureau. i think it’s one of those movies everyone who likes film should see at least once.
btw if you’re interested in hearing what wolof sounds like, touki bouki is the film for you (check tws).
