“The tranquillity of a law-abiding Muslim family is shattered by gun-toting jihadists in this harrowing reflection on the occupation of northern Mali in 2012. Exceptional human filmmaking.” Empire<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jihadis roam the streets of Timbuktu imposing their harsh and arbitrary rules in this magnificent new film by one of the great African film-makers. Angry, polemical, beautiful and at times violent, Timbuktu<\/i> is one of the most powerful films of recent years.<\/p>\n
