Synopsis by Sarah Welsh
Director Trinh T. Minh-ha's first film is an ethnographic portrait of rural Senegalese women, but its provocative editing and self-conscious narration question the very activities of ethnography and documentary filmmaking; Minh-ha inverts and critiques authoritative Western representations of the "other.'"
