Bamako
An audacious blend of documentary and dramatic segments from filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako, this indictment of global economic policy towards Africa depicts a "trial" of the World Bank by judges in a Malian village courtyard. As debate over the financial destiny of the continent ensues, glimpses of traditional ceremonies and the everyday life of a singer and her family bring the issues into personal focus. With Aissa Maiga, Tiecoura Traore and, in a film-within-a-film turn, Danny Glover.
