dvd The Children of Troumaron by Harrikrisna and Sharvan Anenden

In Troumaron, an impoverished area of Port-Louis, the capital of Mauritius island, four youngsters tell us about their fight for their survival: Sadiq, the would-be poet, Eve, who prostituted herself as a child to obtain school materials, Clelio filled with his anger against the world, and Savita,'the good girl' who wants to escape but finds all avenues are closed. Eve has a plan for her and Savita to get away. But it will go terribly awry, and its tragic consequences will lead them into a spiral of violence. The film has won the Oumarou Ganda Award for a first work and the Jury special Mention African critics award at Fespaco 2013, in Burkina Faso.

Also back in stock, for those who like handmade objects, the CD Ka by Seheno: beautiful music in a CD wrapped in a round box, made with wood free & handmade paper (recycled cotton), wich preserves the forest. Each album is unique and hand made by artisans in Calcutta.
