For ten years, she has kept it a secret that she was raped when she was young. In this short experimental documentary, a Senegalese woman tells her story. Tranquil images of the sea and a man in a small boat accompany her account. These images contrast starkly with what is told, but they are a fitting illustration. As a whole, POURQUOI? is an urgent appeal to show respect for women. The film is one of the first from Senegal that was made with support from the Jan Vrijman Fund (Benelux). Dir: Sokhna Amar
