520    Michel K. Zongo returns to Koudougou, the city of his birth, to investigate the legacy of the Faso Fani cotton factory. Once the pride of the city, the factory failed to comply with IMF restructuring and was forced to close in 2001, leaving hundreds of skilled workers jobless. The closure was an economic and social disaster for the city. Through the eyes of former workers as well as radio and television archives, Zongo explores the factory’s proud history, and the initial disastrous consequences of global economic policies that are blind to local realities. But pride remains in Koudougou, in the women who have begun to weave again, and in Zongo himself returning to document the city’s and its inhabitants’ subsequent progress. His film is an homage to a specifically African form of resistance in the face of the madness of globalisation, a visually powerful document of a revolt by energetic women and eloquent men.
