Issa is a traditional weaver in Burkina Faso who loves his trade. However, so as not to lose his clientele and keep on making enough to keep his wife, Issa finds himself forced to sell Western clothes. He buys a mask, ready-to-wear clothing and… makes a fortune. Shot in 1984, a year after Thomas Sankara’s rise to power, the film perfectly illustrates the Chief of State’s motto: “Let’s use products from Burkina Faso!” A political and philosophical tale intended to warn his fellow-citizens.

Il n'y a pas d'histoire dans Ouagadougou, Ouaga deux roues mais un protagoniste: le "deux-roues" sous toutes ses formes. Le film le met en scène dans son quotidien le plus divers: la circulation, les embouteillages, les pannes, les accidents, ses multiples façons de l'utiliser. Le "deux-roues" ouagalais s'expose, se fait entendre à peine couvert par la musique d'Augé kaboré et finalement s'impose comme le maître des rues Ouagalaises.

Dans un village au Moyen-Orient, la population se prépare à des représailles américaines en préparant des abris de terre cuite. Personne n'appréhende vraiment ce qui s'est passé à New York, mais ils savent que, même s'ils n'ont rien à voir avec cela, ils vont en subir les conséquences. Le film dénonce la manière dont des villages innocents dont la réalité n'a rien à voir avec les attentats du 11 septembre subissent finalement le même sort que les tours, sans vraiment comprendre.
