“The eighty something Semb\u00e8ne delivers a powerfully acted and colourfully shot polemic. A perceptive observation of daily life in an African village that celebrates female bravery and solidarity.” Film4<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A story of will, defiance and ancient custom. In a remote African village four girls facing genital mutilation flee to the compound of Coll\u00e9, a free-spirited woman, herself deeply scarred by the procedure. To protect the fugitives she invokes the ancient custom of Moolaad\u00e9 (magical sanctuary). Winner of Un Certain Regard, Cannes 2004.<\/p>\n

“It makes a powerful statement and at the same time contains humour, charm, and astonishing visual beauty.” Roger Ebert Chicago Sun Times<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
