Alidou Badini is a filmmaker from Burkino Faso who has worked on many films and TV productions. He co-directed the widely discussed Le Beurre et l'argent du beurre, which documents the realities of free trade.
Badini has been cameraman or assistant director on various films for the cinema and TV, starting with Keïta! l'Héritage du griot (1994) directed by Dani Kouyaté.
His short film Fleurs d'épines (Flowers of thorns) was nominated for a prize at the Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou in 2001.
Badini was co-director of Le Beurre et l'argent du beurre, which explores the trade in shea butter made from the nuts of the shea tree, a source of cash to subsistence farmers in Burkina Faso. The almonds and the butter extracted from the nuts are used in cooking and body care.
Although attempts have been made to apply "fair trade" principles, the film questions whether the villagers can in practice escape the implacable force of the market.
Le Beurre et l'argent du beurre was shown at the Amiens International Film Festival.
The film received the Jury Grand Prize at the International Environmental Film Festival of Niamey.
It has been used as the basis for discussions by groups who support fair trade.

Fair trading is very much in fashion today. The concept is to help the most underprivileged populations on our planet to emerge from this state thanks to a fairer distribution of revenues. The Shea butter is produced by the poorest women of Burkina Faso, and is more and more appreciated in Europe. It is used in the cosmetic industry and as a cocoa substitute. Various fair trading experiences claim to help them but, who really profits from the money of the butter?
