Mill Valley Film Festival and Museum of the African Diaspora co-present Sembène!

Sembène! tells the inspiring story of the father of African film, a dockworker and fifth-grade dropout who dreamed of becoming the storyteller for a new Africa. Hero to millions, Ousmane Sembène’s (Moolaade, MVFF 2004; Black Girl, MVFF 2015) life unfolds through archival footage and a wealth of interviews. Rich and moving, Sembène! is a compelling tribute to his genius.
