by director Rachid Bouchareb, this short film, L'Ami y'a bon, is a companion to his 2006 film Indigènes. In bleak animation and sparse percussion, this short recounts the story of a Senegalese man who volunteers for the French Army in 1939 and then is captured during the French capitulation in June 1940. Sent to a concentration camp in Germany, he survives and is freed in 1944. Returning to Senegal, he and his fellow conscripts demand their wages for the previous five years. The French authority denies their request and massacres them all.
