The ForestRating: 3.0/5 (with 11 vote)
Le silence de la forêt (lit. 'The Silence of the Forest/The Forest') is a 2003 Central African Republican-Cameroonian drama film directed by Bassek Ba Kobhio and Didier Ouenangare. It is historically the first ever feature film in the Cinema of the Central African Republic. The film was also co-produced in Gabon and Cameroon. The film is adapted based on a novel written by Étienne Goyémidé with the same title Le silence de la forêt. The film was based on the ethnic minority group of African Pygmies and it is also the first film to significantly address the racism of modern Africans towards indigenous ethnic African Biaka people.

About The Forest

A film about the difficulty for even the most well-intentioned person to know and respect another culture. In this case, the problem is so acute that there is even heated debate over what to call that 'other.' The subtitles in the film use the familiar word 'pygmies,' a relatively pejorative European term; the Bantu or villagers' expression for the same group, Babingas, carries similar negative connotations. These highly specialized, tropical rainforest hunter-gatherers should perhaps be called by their own ethnonym, Aka, MoAka (sing.) and BaAka (pl.)
