Bamako (2006)

they kind of box themselves in with their structure, but i think do really well within that structure. nearly every tidbit they bring up outside the trial has a small payoff, so it’s not just window dressing to the trial, but has rewards itself. the trial itself is certainly boring, but the anger it voices is important and refreshing. it does end up giving a simplistic view of africa’s economy, pointing only towards the world bank and repeating itself a good deal, but it’s still exciting to see.
i don’t understand why they didn’t record their own version of ‘naam’. it seems like kind of a famous song and i couldn’t get over the lip-synching to really feel it emotionally like i think it’s intended.
