Week 11: Xala

Meaning temporary sexual impotence, Xala is an African political satire symbolized by a rich businessman with an erectile dysfunction that can only be cured by public humiliation. Come for a thought-provoking social commentary, having masterfully woven themes of masculinities and Senegalese folklore, brought to you by the “father of African film”.
