Sur la piste des manuscrits de Tombouctou

Mali may make the news for civil and religious strife but this film offers a peek into a world still lingering on the beauty of its traditions.
The country is home to the stunning Bandiagara cliffs, the banks of the Niger river and to the mysterious Dogon people. There is the fabulous Djenné, a city made of earth, at the crossroads of a nomadic and sedentary lifestyle. And then Timbuktu, the legendary city and gateway to the desert, a symbol of the far end of the world...
THE TRACKS TO TIMBUKTU is a journey through an uniquely enigmatic and fascinating land. (Verleiher-Text)
