Searing critiques of colonialism, political corruption, patriarchal arrogance, and religious indoctrination, his three features from this decade -- the radical call to resistance Emitaï, the wickedly subversive satire Xala, and the controversial historical epic Ceddo -- confirmed his standing as a fearless truth-teller for whom the camera was the ultimate weapon in the fight against oppression in all its forms.Emitaï: As World War II is going on in Europe, a conflict arises between the French and the Diola-speaking tribe of Africa, prompting the village women to organize their men to sit beneath a tree to pray.Xala: A corrupt politician is cursed with impotence on the night of his third wedding after embezzling 100 tons of rice.Ceddo: In protest of forced conversion to Islam, the Ceddo (outsiders) kidnap King Demba War's daughter Princess Dior Yacine and hold her hostage.DVD, NTSC, region 1, widescreen; Dolby audio monoaural.
