The main objective of the course is to understand the core issues raised by this film production (a contrast between dominant and dominated; power and powerlessness; tradition and modernity; rural and urban areas; the position of women and men in African societies and their everyday difficulties). The course is organized as a seminar; each projection is thus followed by a section for comments and discussions. Last update: Kristenová Lenka, Mgr. (09.12.2022)
