And every morning, from inside his cart he sells coffee and donutsto a city he cannot call his own. On his free time Ahmad Razvi sellspornographic DVDs.

BOROM SARRET, Ousmane Sembene (20mins)Borom Sarret was the cinematic debut of Senegalese novelist and Moscow-trainedfilmmaker Ousmane Sembene - and also represents the earliest film directed byan indigenous filmmaker in sub-Sahara Africa.

Retrieving his family's sole possession - the horse Albourah - from a clearing,the unnamed man then leaves to fetch his wooden cart in order to earn a paltryincome as a borom sarret, (a derivative of the French term bonhomme charret), ahorse-cart driver for hire operating around the native quarters of Dakar, oftenpicking up equally destitute passengers who can only offer an indebted (andindefinite) promise of payment or a wordless, ambiguous handshake in lieu ofthe fare. Nevertheless, the day seemingly turns auspicious as actual payingcustomers begin to hire his services...and so on.
