THE ABSCENCE

Director :Mama Keita
The abscence is a contemporary movie of Senegal. This film gives a message to the viewers that"we should never avoid our sibilings for any reasons, we can't get them back. we had completely lost that person". These theme is depicted in adama and his sister aichas life. This film touches on the social issues of drug, prostitution, corruption, brain drain etc. Adamas abandoned his family especially his deaf and dumpb sister aicha. This will lead to aicha in the sex racket. He didn't care aicha. He is a successful scientist, he had reached home through an anonimous letter saying grandmother was ill. but he is not interested to stay in Senegal and he wants to return to France. Adama's teacher got angry because he return to France. His teacher says you are born and raised in Senegal, so that you should work for our country . This is the best eg of brain drain. This film touched me and viewers also.
