| Abstract: | In Mali as in many other African countries, the custom of traditional adoption is a wealth that strengthens family bonds. Children were sent away to live with relatives who took them into their family and raised them, feeling a sense of honor. Today, people have different attitudes and these beliefs have been lost. Adoption may become a nightmare for the child, which was the case for the director of the film for ten years. [Abstract reproduced from dvd-video] |
