Passionate, humanistic and enormously powerful, Mauritanian director Abderrahmane Sissako’s Timbuktu was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar and screened in competition at Cannes. Based on the forceful takeover of Mail in 2012, Timbuktu is a searing and extraordinary fable about the dangers of religious extremism that positions Sissako at the forefront of African cinema.
Timbuktu is now available on DVD, Blu-ray & on demand. http://www.TimbuktuFilm.co.uk
