Binta is a 7 year old girl who lives in a small charming village on the Casamance river in southern Senegal. She goes to school. Her cousin Soda does not have the same good fortune. She is not allowed to learn about the things of the world.

Binta admires her father, a humble fisherman who, concerned about the development of mankind, is determined to carry out an idea that has occurred to him.

  • amazing work

    sounds childish but i wish we could show this everybody in the world - or at least in the first

    btw where do you get these films?

  • Short yet impactful. Wish the so called ' developed world' & the aspiring 'developing nations' can retrospect and see what they lost/loosing in the pursuit of 'development'.

see all
