How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately unhurried courtroom drama staged in a Bamako courtyard, where the proceedings against global financial institutions become a meditation on Africa's relationship to the world economy. The film's patience mirrors the weight of its indictment, refusing easy resolution.
