Timbuktu
“A song for freedom.”
DramaWar
Just outside of the Malian city of Timbuktu, now occupied by militant Islamic rebels who impose the Sharia on civilians and inconvenience their daily life, a cattleman kills a fisherman.
VIBE
A deeply humanistic portrayal of life under occupation. It feels observational and patient, capturing the quiet dignity and resilience of people navigating absurd and oppressive new realities with grace and subtle defiance.
