Bàttu

2000 • Directed by

Cheick Oumar Sissoko

Comedy

The star-stubbed cast includes Issac de Bankolè as Saar, a blind beggar, and Danny Glover as a corrupt president. In this often hilarious mix of politics and superstition, the beggars hamper the tourist industry yet play a necessary role opposite the lives of devout and wealthy Muslims. The agitated Minister of Public Health and Sanitation imposes a novel way of eliminating the problem.
