Outsiders

In this evocative tale, the Ceddo people grapple with the encroaching influences of religion and the slave trade that threaten their deeply ingrained cultural identity. As King Demba War aligns himself with Muslim forces, his daughter Princess Dior Yacine unwittingly becomes a symbol of the looming conversion to Islam. The Ceddo's desperate act of kidnapping her aims to send a powerful message, voicing their resistance and asserting their right to preserve their heritage amidst the tumultuous tide of change. This film presents a compelling examination of cultural preservation, tradition, and the struggle against external forces that seek to reshape societies by force.
