Si - Gueriki, la Reine Mère by Idrissou Mora Kpai
Director Idrissou Mora Kpai present

Africa Paradis is a parody on the western view of Africa, whereas Si-Gueriki is an insider’s critical yet amusing view of the once-mighty warrior tribe of the Wassangaris, who have maintained their patriarchal clan structures in present-day Benin – and are ruled by a queen.
