Sembene never descends into the one-note shrillness of Spike Lee at his worst.

The tragic events at Camp De Thiaroye serve as a powerful indictment of colonialism.

Audience Reviews for Camp De Thiaroye

A simple direct tale of human intolerance and exploitation. Authentically acted and gently directed, the contrast of Senegalese low-budget filming with the hollywood treatment we don't get is seminal. When the US Army arrives in the plot the contrasts are there; the message is clear but the sad outcome is inevitable.
