Bamako (The Court) background

Bamako (The Court)

In the courtyard of a shared household, a makeshift trial court is established, as African civil society leaders gather to address the injustices faced by the continent, amidst the personal struggles of a couple on the brink of separation.

In the midst of a troubled marriage, a bar singer named Melé and her out-of-work husband Chaka navigate their crumbling relationship in a shared courtyard. Amidst the chaos, a unique court is set up, where African civil society leaders bring a case against the World Bank and IMF, blaming them for Africa's struggles. As the trial unfolds, the community's daily life continues, with Chaka seemingly apathetic to the movement's mission to fight for Africa's rights.
