50... and One World - Florence Barrigha, a Brief Encounter / 1999
No rating yet
Fanta Régina Nacro
Synopsis: In the years following the colonization of West Africa, several women wanted to do business. They had fabrics printed in the West and sold them back in Togo; they were called Nana Benz because they could afford Mercedes Benz. In fact, the expression Nana Benz means freedom, pride, success and the courage of women. This movie brings out the story of one among the seven Nana Benz of Togo: Mrs Florence Barrighah. The story of Florence is fascinating. Her course is original because for the first time, a woman doesn't become a Nana Benz by heritage but by shrewdness and subtlety. In less than four years, she succeeds in penetrating the extremely closed world of Nana Benz. She has chosen a trade that is today going through a great crisis... Florence is among those people whom events forced to reinvent their lives and conditions to exist.
50... and One World - Konomba, the motley destiny / 2000
No rating yet
Rédo Porgo
Synopsis: In "La Statue de sel", Albert Memmi wrote "One who wants to sit on two chairs, at the end finds no place to sit"
This is not the case of Konomba, former prefect, music teacher and bearer of magic powers inherited from his father. This fifty-year old man has one foot in modernity and one foot in tradition and he perfectly deals with these two worlds.
We are facing a many-faceted person: respected fetishist, a well organized polygamist, inspired painter, highly skilled dancer, talented musician, musicologist... In brief, Konomba is syncretist.
Development - Desert's Trainers / 2001
No rating yet
Dô Pascal Sessouma
Synopsis: Revealed at the time of important dryness, the progress of the desert into the land is ascribable to climatic changes and human activities. Concentration of livestock on a small piece of land results in the disappearance of edible vegetable species. Every year 250,000 hectares of forest are cleared up to meet the energy needs for heating and cooking.
Technical solutions to fight the advance of the desert are proved to be limited. Nowadays, the emphasis is rather put on the involvement of local communities in the search for solutions and on the display of traditional strategies.

In Saponé, local radio has been created to put an end to drift from the land of young people. The staff is made of volunteers. Small gifts such as eggs or chickens are given by peasants by way of salary. Radio improved the family life and is now an essential tool for the villagers.
