Danny Glover on the great Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène:

"Ousmane Sembène was one of the world’s most passionate filmmakers, and the novelist who perhaps best captured the turmoil of modern West Africa. He was a staunchly political figure who, in an era of violent power plays, used storytelling as a means of leverage. He was a visionary who understood the power of imagination as a form of resistance against the colonizer, and as a means of cultivating awareness, integrity, and compassion for a better future. He was a leader who helped create a filmmaking labor union, a film festival, and a literary magazine. He was, in sum, one of Africa’s most important cultural figures of the twentieth century. And to me, he was both a hero and a friend.

I remember when I first saw 'Black Girl' in the 1960s, when I was a student and at the same time reading Frantz Fanon’s 'Wretched of the Earth'. That mask! The way Sembène’s ever-observant yet mysteriously unobtrusive camera captured the slow emptying of soul that was Diouana’s death. Our relationship began there, though he couldn’t know that until we actually met in August of 1988 at his home in Dakar. I had come specifically to Senegal to meet Sembène. I remember him serving the Senegalese dish called yassa over a grain that was grown precolonialism called funio, and explaining the origins of the grain. So in that small way Sembène was teaching, giving voice to the past and history.

Yes, Sembène was an African storyteller, but it wasn’t the color of his characters’ skin that resonated with me (though it remains true, nearly 50 years after Sembène first picked up a camera, that those of us with dark skin are still fighting to overcome racism in the global movie-making system). Sembène’s movies were not solely about race. He told the stories neglected by the international media, stories of people living and loving, through tragedy and triumph, on the margins of society. More consistently than any artist I know, Sembène gave voice and agency to everyday people coping with and battling against everyday injustices—allowing us to anoint our own heroes and simultaneously revealing the mechanics of the systems responsible for those injustices. Systems that encourage cruelty, not compassion, and narrow-mindedness instead of imagination. Sembène’s films and novels suggest a better way."

Kwame opened his eyes to a bronze sun. The ground under his feet was cracked, hard and dry like a stream during harmattan. This did not look like the Asamando his grandmother talked about.
