"For the Best and for the Onion!" | Niger/France, 2008
Directed by Elhadj Magori Sani
Agriculture is key to the local economy, with Galmi onions prized throughout West Africa. Shot over the course of one growing season, this is a verite documentary that captures the rhythms of life in Galmi, and how the vagaries of market price and harvest can affect the most intimate personal decisions.
