"Mane" means "I" in the Wolof language and is also the title of the documentary film by director Sandra Krampelhuber. She filmed the story of two women from Senegal. The protagonists are Toussa, a rapper from Dakar, and Emodj, a wrestler from southern Senegal.

We attended the premiere at Moviemento for you. At the end of the screening of Mane, we had the opportunity to learn more about the background and making of the film from the director and to discuss it. The film and the subsequent audience discussion were moderated by Tmnit Ghide.
