   Phenomenal setup for another interesting piece of docufiction by Jean Rouch. Encouraging this multiracial group of students to act out caricatures of people they know or ideas personified shows a slice of the racial tensions at this time and place that might be more hidden from the camera in most documentaries. This method lends a lot more humanity to the problems and situations these kids find themselves in.
   
   The story that comes out of this film-within-a-film though becomes tedious at times. Devolves into simple teen drama at times, but that does seem to reflect what is on the mind of the kids who improvised it. Quite well shot too, Rouch seems to have an eye for that. 7 months 3 weeks ago
