Tall As the Boabab: The Story of An African Girl

 Tall As the Boabab

A powerful voice from Africa's young generation, Tall as the Baobab Tree poignantly depicts a family struggling to find its footing at the outer edge of the modern world… where questions of right and wrong are not always black and white.

Coumba and her little sister Debo are the first to leave their family's remote African village, where meals are prepared over open fires and water is drawn from wells, to attend school in the bustling city. But when an accident suddenly threatens their family's survival, their father decides to sell 11-year-old Debo into an arranged marriage. Torn between loyalty to her elders and her dreams for the future, Coumba hatches a secret plan to rescue her young sister from a fate she did not choose.

On the edge of the modern world in rural Africa, Coumba hatches a secret plan to help her 11-year-old sister escape a forced marriage.

Gand Comme Le Baobab poignantly tells the story of a family conflict on the edge of the modern world ... where questions of wrong or reason are not always as simple as black and white.

Coumba and her younger sister Debo are the first to leave their remote African village - where meals are prepared over wood fires, water drawn from wells, and baobab trees dominate the landscape - to go to school in the big city . When an accident occurs that threatens the survival of the family, their father considers forcing Debo into a forced marriage. Torn between the deep-rooted traditions of her village and the dream of a better future, Coumba imagines a secret plan to save her sister from the fate imposed on her.

Inspired by real events, the first feature film in the Pulaar language, Grand Comme Le Baobab is the first feature film by Jeremy Teicher, finalist of the 38th Annual Student Competition of the Academy of Films of Art and Sciences.

"The Milkmaid” is Nigeria’s official Submission for the Best International Feature Film Category of 93rd Academy Awards

 

"The Milkmaid” is Nigeria’s official submission for the 93rd Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film category of the #Oscars.


SYNOPSIS

In rural sub-Saharan Africa, Aisha, a Fulani milkmaid, is searching for her younger sister, Zainab. Dire personal circumstances force her to approach the religious militants who were responsible for their separation in the first instance, but she is determined to find her despite the compromises she must make to do so. However, her quest to recapture her blithe past proves to be unexpectedly complicated in a world whose festering conflict provides several paths to becoming a victim with typically irreversible consequences.

The story juxtaposes the colour and elegance of rural Hausa/Fulani culture against a graphic and visceral portrayal of the harrowing ordeal of conflict victims and the personal and societal implications of the resulting psychological trauma. The film draws attention to the present plight of real-life victims of militant insurgency in Nigeria (internally displaced persons, IDPs), to generate support for their economic & psychological rehabilitation and social re-integration.

We also seek to contribute to the ongoing discourse on the threats posed by extremism.

Prof. Wole Soyinka's Most Anticipated New Novel, "Chronicles of the Happiest People on Earth"

WeREAD💕💋 NEW BOOK OF THE MONTH

"Chronicles of the Happiest People on Earth" by Prof. Wole Soyinka, the first black winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

https://bookshop.org/shop/Weread

The Book

The novel tells the story of a pact and an alliance formed between four friends, to make an impactful change in their nation. Now in the late stages of adulthood, against an evolving political landscape and a change of government, they drift apart, reunite, navigate complex familial relationships, and increasingly gain recognition in their professions — all the while, their paths interweave with those of prominent religious, community and government leaders, and the tide begins to turn against them, with dire consequences.

It is a dramatic and engaging read, laced with humour and extraordinary characters. The read also provides a realistic perspective on the state of affairs in Nigeria, with a depth of commentary. In Soyinka’s expert hands, the apparently disparate strands are woven together with a master story-teller’s aplomb. 

CHRONICLES OF THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH, is a great and unputdownable read from start to finish.

Book Size: 6.1 inches x 9.2 inches (15.5 x 23.5cm)

Number of pages: 524 pages.
