Description:
This documentary explores the restrictive political climate in Cameroon, starting with the 1990 release of an open letter to President Biya requesting a national conference – an act that led to the immediate arrest of the author and publisher. The film then details the country's colonial past, beginning with the arrival of the first German missionary in 1901 and the subsequent establishment of schools. It covers French occupation after World War I, the scarcity of books written by Cameroonians, and the suppression of the CPU, a leftist organization active in the 1950s and 1960s. The film portrays Cameroon and its people as vulnerable, exploited first by colonialism and then by local leaders, echoing the phrase "Alouette, je te plumerai" – "Lark, I will pluck you."
