Join Close-Up Cinema for screenings of Mandabi as part of their Histoire(s) du cinéma series. Shot primarily in Wolof, Ousmane Sembène's second film and first shot in an African language, a major step toward the realisation of the trailblazing Senegalese filmmaker’s dream of creating a cinema by, about, and for Senegalese people. A hard-working man sends a substantial money order to a relative in Senegal. But due to his innocence and illiteracy, he finds himself running from pillar to post to encash it.
