Learning on ScreenAlbertine and Dorcas
- Synopsis
- Compares daily work of two women in Abijan. Albertine, the mother of a family, lives in Adjamés neighbourhood. Her work consists of preparing and selling ‘achéké' (manioc semolina). Her rather traditional occupation is integrated into the rhythm of her family life. Dorcas, who is single, lives in Treichville and works as a cashier in a hardware store. Each day she leaves her family environment by taxi to go to work. Her rhythm is that of wage-earner and her occupation is more integrated into the modern urban world. Filmed in the Ivory Coast in 1966.
