@archiveafrica * Senegal 🇸🇳* Stills from the film Tauw by Ousmane Sembène/1970. Tauw is one of Sembène’s early short works. It tells the story of two brothers in the generation after independence. Tauw, an unemployed 20-year-old, must deal with the consequences of the shifting morality and stifled job market in urban Senegal, while 11-year old Ouman must confront the contradictions of his religious instruction. Naturalistic in its presentation, Tauw dramatizes how unprepared both are to face the realities presented by a changing society. Although the story is a simple one, it is forcefully drawn and still poignant.

The indigenous governments that replaced colonial rule in the countries that were not settled by Europeans drew their leaders and administrators from populations who had little experience or skill at running any type of large-scale enterprise.
