I understand the film is loosely based on your personal observation of a real-life trial, much like Rama, your protagonist. What captivated you about the case and how did that experience transform into a creative project that you would put to your own aesthetic and political ends? What is the ritual of justice that takes place at a trial, if not this belief in restoring objective truth, which incidentally doesn’t exist; there is no truth. So what fascinated me is this ritual of justice of the court trying to reveal the truth of a person who will ultimately always be a mystery. We are a mystery to ourselves.
That move from the particular to the universal was what I personally found most amazing about the film. Because for a large portion of the film, I was really compelled by Rama’s perspective on the trial and the interesting similarities and differences she shares with Laurence Coly as two Senegalese women in French society.
