Screening of the film Madame Brouette
Directed by Moussa Sene Absa
(Québec/France/Senegal)
Focusing on the plight of poor Senegalese women, Madame Brouette follows the story of one such woman who has decided to take matters into her own hands. Single mother Mati toils daily by selling various goods at a nearby market, which she transports there via a large wheelbarrow -- prompting local residents to dub her "Madame Brouette." Having sworn off men since divorcing her abusive husband, Mati's example persuades her best friend Ndaxte to also leave her thuggish husband.
