In "Lieux Saints / Sacred Places"; Jean-Marie Teno uses the stories of two men in Ouagadougou-Jules Cesar, a drum-maker, and Bouba, a struggling video club proprietor-to examine the larger issues of contemporary African film production and distribution. Echoing Sembene, he asks, "Does today's African cinema serve as the conscience of the people?"
