Hyenas

Streaming video - 1992

After being kicked out of her African village three decades earlier for getting pregnant out of wedlock, Linguere (Ami Diakhate) has returned home. While Linguere has done well for herself, her home village has fallen on hard economic times. Intent on punishing Dramaan (Mansour Diouf), the man who fathered her child but refused to own up to the act, Linguere makes a proposal: She will help the town financially, if the locals agree to execute Dramaan. Palme d'Or nominee at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Official Selection at the **The New York Film Festival**. *"...a languid, sun-beaten mood, with crisp, clear, bright visuals." - Peter Hourigan, **Senses of Cinema***
