This is the perfect introduction to the extraordinary life and work of Ousmane Sembène. The documentary brings together rare archive footage and exclusive materials, alongside interviews, animated sequences and film extracts to depict the life of a man who used his creative powers to educate people, challenge power and speak on behalf of the marginalised. Following the screening, Desta Haile, Director of Film Africa, will chair a discussion with writers and creatives, who will respond to the film and the Sembène season.
