The Night of Truth

The Night of Truth

2004. Burkina Faso/France. Directed by Fanta Régina Nacro. With Georgette Paré, Moussa Cissé. Nacro’s directorial debut is the story of a fictional country in which, on the eve of a peace accord, foes prepare to lay down their arms. The rage and anger felt over the many years of conflict are difficult to put aside, though peace remains the goal of both sides. In Dioula, French; English subtitles. 100 min.
