About this Event

We hear the thoughts of Amy, a girl from a rural area of Senegal who works as a domestic for a well-to-do family in Dakar. She complains about her employer, who continuously criticizes her and gets on her case, and she talks about her dream of one day opening her own eatery. In Dakar, some 150,000 young women work as housekeepers for rich families to survive and help their families instead of going to school.

Directed by Charles Van Damme, Khady Sylla, Senegal/Belgium, 2008, 46 minutes, drama, French and Wolof (with English subtitles)
