Film Screening Post Screening Discussion with Fatoumata Diawara
Morbayassa is named for a joyous traditional West African dance that women perform after they have a child or are reunited with a long-lost son or daughter to rejoice over the lifting of the bad luck that has burdened them.
Cheick Fantamady Camara’s second feature-length film is an inspiring odyssey celebrating the courage of a woman, ferociously played by Fatoumata Diawara, who decides she will escape her dead end situation to find the daughter she could never have.
