You'd think these movies would be easy to find, with all the piracy going on in Africa.

A deceptively easy list. Many of these movies are so crazy obscure they don't even have 5 votes on imdb. To watch some of these movies, I think, you have to visit the hut of a goat farmer in Senegal who owns the only existing copy on VHS.

I managed to find all of these online and on KG. Only four to go as of now, all of which are patiently awaiting viewing in my library :)

In fact, I'm kind of amazed only three users have completed it. It's not like it's that long of a list...

Wow. I have checked one single film on this list, and that places me at position #232 among all ICM users on this list. Obviously not a list with a lot of activity.

It appears you're right. Most are available commercially on DVD, a few are available online.

Les mille et une mains, Histoire d'une rencontre, Heritage Africa
Don't appear to be available commercially, or online, but there are DVDs out there made by the French cultural alliance.
Pegase only just recently won, so I'll give it a pass.

Wow. This is the first list on here in which I haven't seen a single film. In fact, I think I've only heard of one of them ("Ali Zaoua") before today.

False. All of these movies are available at KG/PTP except for the latest entry.

It's difficult but not impossible to find everything on the list, let's hope some expert "hackers" in the near or faraway future manage to upload torrent versions of the remaining past (and future) unavailable films from that wonderful cinematic continent.
