Sixteen years after it's debut, Senegalese film Tableau Feraille, can once again be seen on the big screen.
Director Moussa Sene Absa
Set in a seaside town near Dakar, Tableau Feraille, which means "junk heap", follows the life of Daam, a young, idealistic politician who, despite his best efforts, cannot escape the corruption and greed of the political world in his town. In order to protect his political future, Daam gets into business with President, a thug and local businessman. Daam soon finds out that if you surround yourself with corrupt people, you'll soon become one.
Professor George Lellis has chosen to screen the film, written and directed by Moussa Sene Absa, as part of Black History Month at Coker College. When asked the reason behind his film selection, the Professor replied, "Senegal is the most artistically advanced film producing country in sub-Saharan Africa...Coker is excited to present a work from one of its most important filmmakers."
