description:
"A religious conflict characterizes this drama, set in Senegal at the turn-of-the century when the local king becomes a Muslim and decides to break up the small Catholic congregation in the village of the Ceddo. The people revolt against the change and kidnap a princess. To get her back, the different sides must engage in many meetings which must be handled in the traditional manner. As an interesting sidelight, the film was banned in Senegal because the government disagreed with director Ousmane Sembene's spelling of the word "Ceddo." The government insisted that it could only be spelled with one 'd.'" (AMG)

description:
"Writer/directors Ousmane Sembene and Thiermo Faty Sow based Camp de Thiaroye on their own experiences. During the French/Algerian war, a group of black soldiers fight on the side of France. But when hostilities cease, they are detained by their own government in the titular prison camp before being sent home. While incarcerated, they begin to wonder if their cause -- actually their country's cause -- is truly worth it. Camp de Thiaroye was jointly financed by sources from Senegal, Algeria and Tunisia."

description:
"This film is from Senegal, a former French colonial nation in Africa. When the French attempted to control the lives of these African villagers too minutely, to the point of regulating how they worshipped their gods, a general revolt broke out which was met with severe reprisals. This film explores that time." (AMG)
