This acclaimed documentary film, constructed in six sketches, offers a mosaic of perspectives on the rich culture of Mali and reveals the power and vitality of its ancient history. The landlocked desert nation is one of the world’s poorest countries and yet incredibly culturally vibrant, with Malian artists prominent in African contemporary arts.
