MOOLAADE / Ousmane Sembène (2004). FILM.
The harmful custom -in this case, female genital mutilation- must be challenged by the concerned people themselves, and not under moralizing foreign influence.
Ousmane Sembène, defender of sovereignties and independences : "We must change our behaviour, but we must decide for ourselves et by ourselves."
"A whole people dwells within me and I must bear witness to my time."
