Show Notes

Jackie and Greg talk Ousmane Sembène's masterpiece of French-Senegalese cinema, BLACK GIRL from 1966. Topics of discussion include M’Bissine Thérèse Diop's performance, the film's stylistic influences, how it packs a lot into 59 minutes, and why it remains even more relevant today than when it was made.
