Delphine's Prayers
Les prières de Delphine
2021
Synopsis
Like others, Delphine belongs to the generation of young African women crushed by patriarchal societies and abandoned to Western sexual colonization as her only means of survival. She exposes these patterns of domination that continue to lock up African women.
Editorial
Rosine Mbakam’s most intimate documentary is formed exclusively from conversations between the filmmaker and her impassioned subject. With laughter and defiance, Delphine undoes her languorous bedroom pose of its art-historical, odalisque connotations, sharing secrets of faith, compromise, and love.
