Night of Truth (French: La nuit de la vérité) is a 2004 French/Burkinabe film, the first by director Fanta Régina Nacro. Set in a fictional West-African country, this film tells the story of the night of reconciliation between two ethnic groups, the Nayak and the Bonandés. After ten years of war and much bloodshed, Théo, leader of the Bonandés, invites the Nayak president to come and make peace. However, things do not go as smoothly as planned. The film is in French and Dioula.

Synopsis

Quelque part en Afrique. Après dix ans d'une guerre civile sanglante, les Nayaks, ethnie du Président, et les Bonandés, rebelles rassemblés autour du Colonel Théo, sont sur le point de célébrer les accords de paix en organisant une fête de la réconciliation. Mais le souvenir encore vivace des atrocités commises de part et d'autre assombrit peu à peu les festivités.
