How Much Watching Time Do You Have This Weekend?
‘Wara’
This Senegalese drama (in French, with subtitles) set in the near future follows Moutari Wara (Issaka Sawadogo), a law professor who is supposed to stay out of political activism. But when one of his fellow professors is arrested in the classroom, and when one of his students urges him to help her battle corruption, well, it’s not long before he’s in the game. If you like political thrillers in which everybody has a secret — or even better, many secrets — watch this.
