Batouk 1968

Synopsis:

This uneven and uninspired documentary of Africa is a collection from various stock footage. Female dancers in mod clothes dance on the Eiffel Tower in comparison to the primitive dances of native Africans. A lone runner trains for a marathon, and a few animals are shown in their natural habitat. Commentary and modern jazz and pop music help to make this seem much longer than 66 minutes.

Directed by:	Jean-Jacques Manigot
Written by:	Carlos Páez Vilaró & Aimé Césaire & Léopold Sédar Senghor
