DONI-DONI B'AN BELA
Burkina Faso und Frankreich 2001 – Director: Berni Goldblat – Co-Director: Daphné Serelle – Original language: Dioula – Subtitles: English – Length: 35 min.
Aids and sexuality are taboos in Africa. For the first time, the silence is broken by the camera. Men and women in Burkina Faso, West Africa, talk about the female-male relationship: the methods of seduction: the power of money; man's domination over women and the difficulties of using a condom.
Out of ignorance about the disease, people, who are infected with Aids, are treated like lepers in West Africa. It is still believed, that a well-nourished person, cannot carry the virus. The film calls for a dialogue between the sexes, before Aids has a chance. It is a contribution to Aids-education. Doni-doni b'an bela: we all carry share the responsibility. Death is inevitable. But the death that can be avoided, we must avoid.
