Al Djanat, the Original Paradise

Burkina Faso

Chloé Aïcha Boro

When her uncle dies, director Chloé Aïcha Boro films her family’s courtyard in Dédougou, Burkina Faso. Framed by her camera, the shared space becomes the stage of the inheritance dispute that unfolds. A conflict between the gatekeepers of family tradition and those defending property interests, advocating for a modernity inherited from Western colonisation.
