Guimba un tyran, une aepoque = a tyrant in his time 2005?

Cheick Oumar Sissoko, Ibrahima Toure, Idrissa Ouaedraogo, Issa Baba Traorae, Balla Moussa Keita,  Habib Dembaelae, Kora Films (Firm), Centre national de production cinaematographique du Mali, Direction de la production cinaematographique du Burkina-Faso,  Westdeutscher Rundfunk, California Newsreel (Firm), and Kino International Corporation

A tyrant throws his city into conflict and chaos when he allows his randy, dwarf son to reject an arranged marriage to the slim local beauty in order for him to pursue the girl's larger, married mother. The tyrant then sets his own eyes on the girl, making the situation even worse. An epic set in the legendary past of Mali (West Africa) to provide a biting allegory of present-day African politics. Through the story of the downfall of Guimba the tyrant, the filmmaker foretells a similar fate for the many dictators who still pillage the continent. He frames his film with the appearance of a griot, a traditional African storyteller who passes down the "wisdom of the ancestors", looking to the values and legends of the African past for inspiration and guidance in reconstructing well-governed, self-sufficient nations. 1 videodisc (93 min.)
