Let French animation legend Michel Ocelot’s stunning African folktale cast its spell on you. This animated marvel exquisitely recounts the tale of tiny Kirikou born in an African village in which Karaba the Sorceress has placed a terrible curse. Kirikou sets out on a quest to free his village of the curse and find out the secret of why Karaba is so wicked. Kirikou depicts a precocious newborn infant who battles ignorance, and so-called evil, with endearing perseverance. This film speaks to the child within us all who yearns to express and defend the best in others and ourselves. Kirikou‘s stunning visuals are accented by a traditional music soundtrack by African music giant Youssou N’Dour of Senegal.
