Ta Dona Movie Review 1991

An agriculture expert living in a peasant village searches for a traditional Bambara herbal remedy used in childbirth. Embarking on a quest to balance African tradition and modernity in his life and work, this young African man symbolizes education's ability to serve rural development in Africa without exploiting cultural traditions for personal power. Considered Africa's first environmental feature film. In Bambara with English subtitles.
