Emita� (1971) (original) (raw)
During World War II, Marshal P�tain�s French forces and their African lackeys comb the Senegalese countryside, conscripting young Diola men into service and attempting to seize rice stores for soldiers back in Europe. Torn between allegiance to their silent gods and fear of fomenting a resistance of their own that might upset them, the tribe�s patriarchal leadership frays; meanwhile, the French humiliate the women of the tribe when they refuse to yield their harvests.
