Nowadays, mentalities are changing and believes are being lost; as a result, adoption can become a nightmare for the child, as it was the case for the director for about ten years of her life. In this film, Awa Traoré sheds a light on what remained unspoken for too long: the experience of a waliden who has suffered mistreatments upon being adopted traditionally.
A film by Awa Traoré, Mali, 2009, documentary · 52m · Bambara with English subtitles
