Freedom of Speech and the Media in Africa – The Example of Mali

A true fairy tale about freedom and media from Mali

This film is about the media south of the Sahara – of the Tam Tam and the Griots, of courtiers and minstrels, of bootlickers and censors, but also of Africans, who fight for freedom of speech – then and now. It also depicts a chronicle of democracy and of the development of the radio in the west African country of Mali.

Original title: The muzzled cricket
A film by Sylvie Banuls and Peter Heller
