Genesis

Sissoko, Cheick Oumar, (film director.). Toure, Ibrahima. (Added Author). Sagot-Duvauroux, Jean-Louis. (Added Author). Kora Films (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: Genesis is given a new spin which recasts a famous story by relocating it in the nation of Mali and using a cast of African actors. Covering Chapters 23-37, it recounts the story of Esau whose birthright is stolen by his brother Jacob in exchange for a plate of beans. This allegorical tale combines an accurate interpretation of the Biblical story with relevant allusions to African history and culture.
