In Burkina Faso, a country confronted with poverty and archaic traditions, ancestral customs are regarded as laws. In the countryside, unexplained deaths are often attributed to ‘soul eaters’: women with occult and malignant powers whom villagers hold responsible for these disappearances. They are outcast and become the scapegoats of an entire community. S. Pierre Yameogo was born in Koudougou, Burkina Faso. He is director, scenarist and producer. Yameogo attempts to protect cultural and human values and at the same time give the African continent a new impulse. His most recent film, Delwende (2005), was shown at the film festival in Cannes.
