What The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun Is About
Djibril Diop Mambéty's 1999 Senegalese film is among the short works completed after the director's death. Sili, who walks on crutches, decides to sell newspapers in the streets of Dakar; the work is considered to belong to boys, and she meets resistance from them and from the police. Mambéty's method is not didactic: Sili is not pitied, and her determination is not offered as heroism; she simply does the work. The film runs forty-five minutes and is tightly built; street sound, crowds and light carry Dakar directly. It was the second part of a trilogy the director planned about ordinary people; the third was never made. Who it's for: viewers interested in African cinema and the short film form. Who it's not for: anyone expecting a feature, or wanting stories of poverty to end in a solution.
