MANE
Documentary film (2020, 55min, Austria/ Senegal)
Original languages: Wolof, Diola, French
Subtitles: English, French, German
Synopsis
Two young women - two stories.
A rapper in Dakar and a wrestler in southern Senegal: Toussa and Emodj.
They both strive for victory and recognition in male-dominated spheres and a patriarchal society. A battle with words and visionary lyrics for a better society, and a fight with hard physical training for victory in the arena. "Mane" - "Me“ in the language Wolof - tells a modern, positive and trend-setting story of two young women and their universal truth: only we ourselves can bring about change, out of our own ambition and will.

Testimonials
Mane is a much-needed breath of fresh air in the male-saturated tale of Senegal’s “generation hip hop.” Toussa and Emodj are winners because they dared to enter spaces that resist and undermine their presence. Marame Gueye (Africa is a Country)
