    Kirpianuscus

    a poem with virtues of lesson

    In good measure, a poem. About people looking for gain a good life and fame, about mix of magic and Islam, about resistence against pressures, menaces, invaders across centuries, about a Nigerian martian art of butchers from Kano, about two local heroes of Dambe , about the confession of an apprentice of one of them and about an equal match between two leopards.

    More than a good to impressive and touching short documentary, a beautiful reflection of survive against provocations of history.

    So, a film about preserving identity.

    Great image, beautiful story, charming moral.

    In essence a poem with virtues of lesson about fair way to resist against challenges.
