Synopsis
Six-year-old Mame's father, against his mother's wishes, entrusts his son to a marabout who teaches at a "daara." In this Koranic school, students are subjected to strict religious instruction. Life is difficult for the children, who are forced to beg, gather firewood, and work in the master's field. Mame runs away and returns home. Filmed in 1975, "Njangaan" is a bold film, powerfully highlighting a phenomenon that remains relevant today.
