A Good Effort from Burkina Faso

This film explores the desperation of trying to make a living in Africa. The extreme hardships that force men and women to seek work in the unsafe gold mining camps is difficult to watch. A lot of the back story and events in this movie can be very obscure. However, the moral dilemma remotely has a "Treasures of the Sierra Madre" intent and caused me to stay with the film.

Subtitles don't work...

The cinematography is top notch. I could taste the dust and sand by watching the movie. The problem with the DVD is no working english subtitles in the movie (spoken in French, I believe) using the WINDVD program in Windows XP. The movie is dialogue-driven, so watching the movie takes a lot of guess work to understand what's going on. I stopped watching the movie as I burned out in guessing the storyline in the movie. If someone has a better DVD player program to properly access the subtitles menu, go for it. I recommend finding another foreign title to purchase other than this one.

Slow plot, but suiting for the slow pace of life in Burkina

The story unfold slowly, even with limited dialogue. Some folks watching with me didn't like it, but my friends from Burkina and Togo enjoyed it, as did I. It is slow, and a bit realistic/depressing. This one wasn't produced by Disney...but life around the world is tough.

I enjoyed the movie

I enjoyed the movie, wanted to know more, the ending left me hanging but I suppose that's part of what I liked about it....it was purposely slow in some spots, very thought provoking

Excellent film from Burkina Faso tells a realistic story.

Powerful if brutal film about shame,guilt and redemption. Even when one has lost everything and has nothing. Great cinematography. 4 / 5

Exotic and interesting movie

Starts out a little slow, moves a little slow, but after a while is deeply engrossing, and makes you feel like you have learned a bit about a completely different culture. Very worthwhile.

The main male character in the movie is not Nigerian but Nigerien.

The summary that comes with the film is completely incorrect- the main male character is not Nigerian from Nigeria but Nigerien from Niger. They're two completely different countries. Please correct that ASAP.
