Little Senegal

Little Senegal has this very sparse style, about a Senegalese man searching for the descendants of his enslaved family, 300 years later. Especially the beginning of the film, with all the old white Southerners is reminiscent of the Golden Age of American cinema, the Seventies ('They shoot horses, don't they?

When you write a story worth telling, you must do so. This one is a superbly written piece of literature and cinematography.

This is a great film to me showing the importanceof knowing you you-heritage and how to live.it touches on the difference aspects of of Senegaland Western culture.

The background of this film is complicated enough: it's an Algerian-French-German co-production of a story about a man in Senegal who works as a tour guide at a historical site where slaves were taken to America. He soon heads across the Atlantic himself in an effort to trace his own family's history in America.
