>Tasuma, a former French solider who valiantly fought in colonial 
>wars in Indochina and Algiers, has been waiting for his small army 
>pension for more than fifty years. Convinced that the money is on 
>its way, he buys a grain mill for the women of his village in 
>Burkina Faso on credit from an Arab trader. When the mill arrives 
>but the money does not, he dons his old uniform and takes his trusty 
>rifle into the veterans administration office to demand his money. 
>Set in contemporary Burkina Faso, Tasuma, the Fighter is a wryly 
>comic critique of post-colonial bureaucratic indifference.
