4.0 out of 5 stars Poetic thriller, August 30, 2005

This review is from: Kasarmu Ce:This Land Is Ours [VHS] (VHS Tape)

From the box:

Kasarmu Ce mixes Hausa and Western Storytelling techniques to create an enlightening, politically potent and culturally rich African thriller, complete with conspiracy, murder, and the power of "Dodo" spirits. Sani, a young man of charm and quiet self-confidence, is moved to act when his grandfather is killer by the agents of a corrupt businessman, who wants to buy up the entire village without revealing that precious stones have been found all over its lands.

Blurbs:

"A penetrating ... poetic, joyously contemplative ... thriller set it a rural backdrop." --West Africa Magazine

"Its cinematic execution is excellent" --African Concord

"Consumate artistry ... a triumphant screen-writing and directorial debut ..." --West Africa Magazine

In Hausa with English subtitles. Production Design by Tom Conroy; edited by David Hill; Lighting/Camera by Peter Murphy; Sound by Gianni Marchesi; Produced by Matthew Rose.
