The forefront of the film is a mock trial featuring the people of Mali vs western oppressors disguised as well wishers. The witnesses rant and rave albeit in a cogent fashion against the World Bank, IMF and colonization. The backdrop is the sordid life of the locals and in particular a couple struggling to keep their marriage afloat. A well meaning but poor executed film which also featured a western soap opera that locals tuned into featuring Danny Glover as cowboy. At that point I decided to use the stop button and call Wenerd to abuse him for no reason.
