“What!? You haven’t seen any films from Africa!?”

Shot from Timbuktu

Timbuktu Film Difficulty Ranking: 4

“What!? You haven’t seen any films from Africa!?”

Well, honestly, I was in a similar position a few months ago. I’d only seen a few films set in the continent, such as the brilliant District 9, the heart-warming Africa United, and the heart-wrenching Hotel Rwanda. So when I saw Timbuktu gather critical acclaim at Cannes as well as a nomination for the Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language Film, I gave it a watch. Safe to say, it was well worth it!
