It is with great belief that I think every American, African and anyone working in development should read this book!!!!! Posted on September 21, 2011 Fredricka Korpela says... I have been Film Movement's fan for a while and I must admit that their movies are getting better and better as the time goes by.This one is set in Africa and actors speak in French.While the language keeps movie flowing by its beauty, the visual scenes are breathaking.We learn about a small village which was a place of a gold rush 20 years ago.Now it is a place full of people who pay out their own pockets to do back breaking and dangerous jobs while being belittled by their superiors.Most settlers are men and a few women that are around are wives and daughters of the miners some living, some dead.They have no other means of living but dependign on the charity of the miners.As the film unfolds we see that most miners have troubled past.Some used to be rich when they struck gold many years ago; but thir extended families made sure that money is long gone.Others have lost their family to greed - the villagers would kill the family members of the miners who struck gold.It quickly becomes obvious that miners are there because they are either society rejects, or they are atoning for the bad luck they unwillingly brought to their families.All of them are damaged both emotionally and physically.Their lives are desolate like the mines they live in; their happiness is brought on only by drugs from the local plants and drink from the local bar.It is amazing to see them desparately search for their life's purpose under disguise of looking for gold.Their lives follow the shadows of their former selves.Beautiful film, emotional and touching at once. Posted on September 22, 2011 Verena Cechini 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 September 23, 2011 Carry Bastidas 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 September 24, 2011 Angelika Neils 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 September 25, 2011 Brandee Pullen 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 September 29, 2011 Leave a Comment |
