L'amazone candidate
The film pays tribute to Maître Marie Elyse Gbédo, the Beninese iron lady who ran for her country's highest office for the second time in March 2006. The film introduces us to this exceptionally beautiful lawyer, who is fighting to radically change the political customs of her country. This film also depicts another Africa, where politics is not necessarily a matter of machetes or bloodshed, but a civic struggle where political engagement is accompanied by music, dance, and celebrations in a dynamic that demonstrates the political maturity of this small West African country, Benin.
