This movie was set in Dakar and depicted a run down area that seemed to have a very poor economic situation. The main character symbolized the inner strength that people can have when all the chips are down. Not only being handicapped, the young-lady was not getting any breaks as a female trying to derive an income in the predominately male only work environment.
Her attitude was the key for her success. It reminded me of the women’s rights movement as far as her never quit mentality. She shows sprit that anyone faced with a mountain of turmoil must. She pushes on to make positive steps towards bettering her life. My favorite example was when the newspaper boys knocked her down and she wasn’t at all discouraged by the act, in fact, it just made her more determined to succeed.
Throughout the whole story she stood up for herself, for others, and helped those who needed it. It can be said that it is a story of the true human spirit that dwells in all of us weather tapped or not.
