Adopted from Sembène’s own novel White Genesis, Niaye is a short film about a 13-year-old girl from a small village whose pregnancy scandalizes her community. Though a visiting worker is accused of impregnating her, the father of the young woman’s baby is, in fact, her own father. Sembène offers a vital portrait of a village in moral decline.
