What happens
Saitane est un film nigérien réalisé par Oumarou Ganda, sorti en 1972. Un sorcier (interprété par Oumarou Ganda) règne sur toutes les activités d’un village. En se jouant des différents partis en présence, il promet tantôt l’amour, la santé, la richesse en échange des plus extravagants cadeaux. Un jour, il est démasqué et devient la risée du village. Désespéré, il se précipite d’une falaise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
