Oh, Sun, is a 102-min. Mauritanian and French film produced by Med Hondo in 1967. It tells the story of a star-eyed immigrant who leaves West Africa and journeys to Paris in search of a job, a community, and intellectual engagement but soon discovers a hostile society where his very presence engenders fear and resentment. With this freewheeling masterpiece, Hondo crafts a shattering vision of awakening Black consciousness. In French and Arabic with English subtitles. A.M. Qattan Foundation.
