A woman with an unplanned pregnancy won't identify the child's father, so her parents throw her out. She leaves the baby in a field where another family finds him. The head of the household seeks counsel from the police, a priest, and the chief, none of whom help, so he takes responsibility for the baby.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
New York Times by Stephen Holden
"Wendemi" would be a much more gripping film if it had a strong title performance. But Mr. Minoungou radiates little energy or expression. In the one scene, in which he required to weep, the two or three tears that drip down his cheeks seem to have been applied. The best performance is Mr. Komboudri's Son of the Man, a smug, cocky manipulator whose jocularity can turn instantly to hysteria and sadistic violence.
They're back... and they're not alone!
