Waliden Children of Others WINNER
Awards: 2010 Best Message and Idea
Director: Awa Traore
Country: Mali
Runtime: 52 mins
Language:
Film Ratings: 18+

Synopsis:

In Mali, as in many countries in Africa, traditional adoption used to positively consolidate the ties within the family. Nowadays, mentalities are changing and believes are being lost; as a result, adoption can become a nightmare for the child, as it was the case for the director for about ten years of her life. In this film, Awa Traoré sheds a light on what remained unspoken for too long: the experience of a waliden who has suffered mistreatments upon being adopted traditionally.
