Tidjane ou les voies d’Allah

Eliane Latour
1988 France 60 minutes French; Zarma

On the edge of the Sahel desert, a man with a white veil lives amongst his disciples. Everything centres around the Skeikh of Kiota, religious leader of the Tijaniya brotherhood in Niger, improving spiritual knowledge, to exorcise curses, and use his magic to fulfill needs for food, schooling, transport, etc… But the Sheikh is also the link in a religious network connected to the world of Islam.
