Harmattan / 2

Hospitality is the virtue which induces us to feed and accommodate some people who do not need either to be fed or to be housed. With this quote from Ambrose Bierce opens the second chapter of the Harmattan, a documentary that tells the journey, the exchange relations between a small Italian delegation in charge of decentralized cooperation and the inhabitants of Ouali, a village in Mali.

Outside the cliché of the Italian-good-to-any-price, and the logic of welfarism, there is a discovery of a parallel world, with the villagers who welcome tubabu, white men alike. For those who wish, we will be back on Wednesday with the documentary series. Here, then, the second chapter of Harmattan.
