About

Just outside of the Malian city of Timbuktu, now occupied by militant Islamic rebels who impose the Sharia on civilians and inconvenience their daily life, a cattleman kills a fisherman.
How much of your dignity can you preserve when militants turn your quiet village into a landscape of absurd, suffocating rules? This quiet tragedy captures the friction between everyday survival and the sudden imposition of religious extremism.
