Bamako
About the event
In a courtyard in Mali’s capital, an extraordinary trial puts the World Bank and IMF in the dock, accusing them of perpetuating poverty across Africa. As courtroom arguments unfold, alongside the rhythms of everyday life, Sissako’s Bamako transforms global economics into deeply personal drama. Blending fiction and documentary, this powerful and poetic film is a compelling exploration of justice, inequality and the human cost of faceless international financial systems. Screen: NFT2. Screening details: English language subtitles; 35mm.
