"Tableau Ferraille" offers an intimate view of how modernization corrodes traditional communities and retards grass roots development. It deplores a corrupt post-colonial elite's exploitation of the promise of African independence. In his· film, Moussa Sene Absa contrasts two possible development paths for Africa: one towards self-reliance and social cohesion, the other rowards self-interest and social chaos. In "Tableau Ferraille," Daam, a well intentioned but vacillating European-trained politician, must choose between these two paradigms clearly exemplified by his two wives. His first wife, Gagnesiri, is a dignified village woman, dedi cated to husband, family, and community. She may represent Africa with its vast unrealized potential, waiting patiently, perhaps roo patiently, for politicians and technocrats like Daam to develop its potentials. Unlike Gagnesiri, Kine is a Western educated woman. She wants to open an art gallery and travel abroad, even chiding Daam for not lli£fmiflj using his position ro acquire wealth like the other government ministers ... • PER PERSON DEPENDING ON DESTINATION I BREAK DATES I LENGTH OF STAY.
