Synopsis
Takalakoyos, Guardians of the River follows the daily lives of the Takalakoyos women, figures of resilience and dignity, who extract and sell sand from the banks of the Niger River. Through 75-year-old Amina, who emotionally recounts their daily lives, the documentary reveals how, thanks to their hard work, these women support their families and play an essential role in the fight against begging. Unbeknownst to them, their activity also contributes to the desanding of the river. This film pays tribute to their courage and resilience
