Ndar Saga Waalo is described as an evocative documentary that delves into the rich and complex tapestry of Saint-Louis, Senegal, blending its storied past with its present-day identity struggles. Saint-Louis, founded in 1659, served as the capital of the French colony of Senegal until 1902 and briefly for French West Africa. An economic center during colonial times, it’s now recognized for its historical significance and as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city, named after Louis IX, was an important trade center, notably in the enslaved. Ndar Saga Waalo aims to serve as a tribute to Saint-Louis, and understanding the complexities of colonial legacy and cultural identity in Africa today.
