Introduction
A portrait of a week in the lives of poor immigrants in an Ivorian slum. Rouch’s first ‘ethnofiction’ blurs the boundaries between artistic expression and disinterested social science. It also challenges assumptions about authorship – Rouch collaborated with locals who acted in the film, narrated it, and helped write the script. Ultimately it challenges the notion that the camera can only be a tool of the colonial gaze.
