- Summary:
- With revolutionary outrage, Ousmane Sembène chronicles a period during World War II when French colonial forces in Senegal conscripted young men of the Diola people and attempted to seize rice stores for soldiers back in Europe. As the tribe's patriarchal leaders pray and make sacrifices, the women in the community refuse to yield their harvests. EMITAÏ explores the strains that colonialism places upon cultural traditions and discovers a people's hidden reserves of rebellion and dignity
