Kabadio - O tempo não tem pressa, anda descalço
by Daniel Leite (2017, 95min, Estrangeiro - Senegal)
Viewer's Discretion - Not recommended for children under 14 years
Sinopsis: In the heart of Senegal, a small Muslim village called Kabadio, a sort of mystical island protected by religious leaders, is the scenario of fascinating images and stories of real people who struggle to survive, keeping their traditions in the midst of a civil war and the smuggling of goods.
JUSTIFICATION
Kabadio is a place without equal, which shows the power and diversity of the African people, even in the midst of adversities such as a civil war and the capitalist interests that insist on bulldozing over everything and everyone. I had the pleasure of helping to produce the great director and cinematographer Daniel Leite's project, and I am proud to be able to exhibit this beautiful documentary in partnership with Cine Esquema Novo.
