- Summary
-
Marabouts, Islamic Sufi religious leaders, are ubiquitous in Senegal and throughout West Africa. In the streets of Dakar, images of sainted marabouts from the past are ubiquitous, and living marabouts have a considerable amount of influence over the approximately 90% of Senegalese who follow the most mystical and syncretic of Islam's traditions. The film shows us three followers of the Murid movement and how their religious beliefs influence their secular lives--and vice-versa--before events culminate in all three taking a pilgrimage to the holy shrine of Touba.
