THE HEIRS OF THE HILL

by Ousmane Zoromé Samassékou

MALI, France - 2015 - 84 MINUTES

synopsis

In Bamako two hills face each other, separated by the Niger River. The University of Bamako, known as the “hill of knowledge”, is sinking day after day into decay. The AEEM, the only union of Malian students, there reigns racketeering, corruption and electoral fraud. Its most striking arguments are machetes, but its “warriors” do not disdain the Kalashnikovs. The union leaders here are learning government techniques that they will apply tomorrow, when, having become political leaders, they will settle on the other hill, the “hill of power”.
