Ousmane SEMBENE - Senegal
Senegal, 1944. A battalion of infantrymen arrives at Thiaroye transit camp. They’ve been conscripted, sometimes since 1940, into the French colonial army to fight against Germany and now await demobilisation and pay. In the face of the army’s unkept promises and racism they lose their pride and their illusions and mutiny. 25 die, many are wounded, and others end up in prison.
