The Wagoner Just because this new life has me working like a slave, doesn't mean I'm any less noble... than my ancestors.

the use of music in Sembène's films is so well executed. his debut functions as a portrait of a city that almost feels like a documentary. the subjective lens of the protagonist provides a loose narrative and room for reflection. well shot and engaging from start to finish. it may be a short film but it has a lot to say.
