Bamako is a 2006 film directed by Abderrahmane Sissako, first released at the Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2006 and in Manhattan by New Yorker Films on February 14, 2007.
The movie takes place during a trial in Bamako, the capital of Mali, amid the daily life that is going on in the city. In the midst of that trial, two sides argue whether the World Bank and IMF, or perhaps corruption, are guilty of the current sad state of many African countries.
Danny Glover, one of the film's executive producers, also guest-stars as an actor in a western (called Death in Timbuktu) that some children are watching on the television in one scene.
