Good videography for a travel film. And covers enough to let you know if you want to go to Benin, Burkino Faso, or Mali, though did not show all parts of Mali. I was disappointed that I bought a film titled "WestAfrica" and it showed only three small countries right there together.It should be titled "Benin, Burkino, & Mali!" Posted on October 1, 2011 Tiesha Pockrus says... THIS DVD HAS ENGLISH SUBTITLES! YOU MAY NEED TO TURN THEM ON IN YOUR PLAYER OR ON THE DVD ITSELF BUT I WATCHED THE SAME FILM AND IT CLEARLY HAD ENGLISH SUBTITLES THROUGHOUT. A BEAUTIFULY SHOT AND MOVING FILM! Posted on October 3, 2011 Machelle Shortey says... Other travel guides cover all of Africa or all of West Africa.The entire Brandt Guide book covers only one country, Burkina Faso. Therefore, there is more actionable information on Burkina Faso including more town maps and descriptions of villages and tribal markets where you can find traditional life untouched by modern ways. There is also more depth and more insight.The author seems to have more connection to Burkina Faso. This is more valuable than having the latest published guide.Published on quality paper, the book is heavier than others but indispensible for navigating along the path less traveled. Traveling on your own, I wouldn't go without it. You would risk bypassing places that would cause you post-travel regrets. Posted on October 3, 2011 Jeanette Maslonka says... The cinematography is top notch.I could taste the dust and sand by watching the movie. The problem with the DVD is no working english subtitles in the movie (spoken in French, I believe) using the WINDVD program in Windows XP.The movie is dialogue-driven, so watching the movie takes a lot of guess work to understand what's going on.I stopped watching the movie as I burned out in guessing the storyline in the movie.If someone has a better DVD player program to properly access the subtitles menu, go for it.I recommend finding another foreign title to purchase other than this one. Posted on October 4, 2011 Otha Fulk says... -- bought this for a daughter who was headed to Burkina Faso with the Peace Corps -- of the 6+ books I purchased for her, this is the only one she chose to take with her -- she just arrived there last week and haven't heard much from her, but will inquire at some future point how useful it's being-- certainly looked good to me, so much so that in hopes that I'll get to visit her, purchased another copy for my use -- at the least it will give me some idea what's coloring her experiences. Posted on October 12, 2011 Raymon Kicks says... It is with great belief that I think every American, African and anyone working in development should read this book!!!!!
