Country Ivory Coast (2)

This ironic parable explores the proliferation of pseudo-Christian sects in Africa. A pig herder, despised by the whole of his village, starts a new sect after seeing a vision in which he is told that he has been chosen by God to save his people.

In one of the rare films from Ivory Coast, director and writer Fadika Kramo-Lancine has focused on a common problem facing many African countries, the clash between tradition and its unwritten codes of conduct and the modern world with its own accepted modes of behavior.
