The TVI Take
Mati Diop's 2019 Cannes Grand Prix-winning Senegalese film about young Senegalese construction workers attempting to cross to Spain. The structural commitment to letting the supernatural-folkloric reveal (the construction workers' ghosts inhabit the bodies of the women they left behind) operate as documentary-grade Dakar working-class material is rare African cinema.
First Black female director in Cannes Competition.
