Yam Daabo (1987) review

Villagers from Burkina Faso go about their daily business - making food, riding around in trucks, tending to the land and being justifiably concerned over the water supply - while there's some drama taking place with a pregnant young woman named Bintou (Aoua Guiraud) who is in a relationship with Issa (Moussa Bologo) - even though her father is mad at him and sends him away - and then there's Tiga (Rasmané Ouédraogo), who's infatuated with Bintou and tries to shoot Issa.  As a portrait of a society struggling to survive in changing times it's very vague - it would have been nice if there was actual information presented regarding the politics of the region - and it takes a bit for it to get into the love triangle component (which is poorly written and acted).  It mostly functions as a time capsule from the late eighties for those curious as to what was transpiring in Africa during those years, because most student films are more competently put together.
