Films addressing gender transformation in colonial times: Reply

Here is a suggestion (thank you Winifred Lambrecht) :


Maybe Ousmane Sembene's Moolaade? It deals with a women group's objection to
the tradition of genital mutilation which has endured in various parts of
Africa; it is NOT a documentary, but a  what has come to be known to me as
doc/fic, a film that looks like a doc, but is a fiction film, based on reality
but recreated on the basis of ethnographic information and Sembene's own
knowledge.
