Set in the powerful Mali Empire of the 13th century, Yeelen follows the journey of Nianankoro, a young warrior who must battle the powerful Komo cult. Nianankoro's greatest enemy is his own father, a dangerous and corrupt wizard who uses his dark magic to try and destroy his son. Traveling over the arid Bambara, Fulani and Dogan lands of ancient West Africa, Nianankoro eventually comes face to face with his father in a final fatal showdown. (official distributor synopsis)

A person doesn't even want to have prejudices, but then ends up surprised by what actually came from Africa and how well they managed to work with actors who don't look like actors at all, and most crews wouldn't even want to work with them. All the more is the movie believable, strong, and interesting. Here, you really experience some scenes mainly thanks to the visuals and overall layout.
