The Silence of the Forest

About The Silence of the Forest

The Silence of the Forest is a 2003 French drama film directed by Didier Ouénangaré and Bassek Ba Kobhio. It runs 93 minutes. The cast is led by Ériq Ebouaney, Nadège Beausson-Diagne and Sonia Zembourou. It holds an IMDb rating of 6.3.

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.)
