Afrique, je te plumerai / Africa, I Will Fleece You / Cameroon / 1993

Jean-Marie Téno’s documentary traces a public and personal genealogy of economic and spiritual colonialism in Cameroon with a grab-bag of interviews, flashbacks, and early ethnographic films. The film focuses mainly on linguistic oppression, but Téno is also interested in African self-expression in general, and the foundation of an African cinema in particular. Witty, fragmentary, and disconcerting, Afrique, je te plumerai is itself pronounced in the voice of a voiceless people.
