L’ Etr@nger du grand fleuve

March 2003. Heralds come to Niafunké in northern Mali to announce that a window has opened up in space-time. The whole village comes to have a look and ask questions that reflect their individual needs and dreams. The leader of the dance is a mouse’ an Internet centre has just opened. No idol worship can be seen on their faces, but rather curiosity, wonder and sometimes mistrust. The light shining out of the screen reveals the inner being and the heart of each one.
