The acclaimed new film from the legendary director Ousmane Sembene, widely regarded as the father of African cinema, brilliantly tackles his most controversial subject to date - female circumcision. In a small village in Burkina Faso, four young girls have fled the ritual of 'purification' and seek protection - moolaade - with Cooe, a circumcised woman who helped her own daughter escape excision seven years eariler. In defiance of the traditionalists within the village, Colle grants the girls sanctuary and the scene is set for a tense confrontation between opposing sets of values. A wonderfully realised, life affirming film with the power to change the world, 'Moolaade' celebrates the strength of women in modern-day Africa, to whom it is dedicated.
