Borom sarret

Ly Abdoulay has a horse -- played by Albourah, and a cart with a squeaky wheel .Every morning he gets up and goes downtown to look for work hauling around people and cinder blocks. Sometimes they pay him.

While he goes through his routines, he conducts an inner monologue of anger, fear and whining.. That's all of it in the course of this 18-minute short subject. You could argue that it's not a great movie -- and I do -- but it's an important movie because it is the first directed by Ousmane Sembene, and thus the first movie directed by a Black film maker in Africa.
