In 2003 Berit Madsen und Anne Mette Jørgensen went to Niger to make a film with Damouré Zika, Moussa Hamidou and Tallou Mouzourane, Rouch’s collaborators. The filmmakers had seen them in numerous films that they had made together with the famous French anthropologist and filmmaker Jean Rouch, over a period of more than fifty years. They were curious to learn how Rouch’s friends in Niger had experienced all these years of working with him and the cinema. This film was recorded in 2003. Rouch died one year later on a desert road in Niger.
