On Sambizanga Sarah Maldoror

I am one of those modern women who try to combine work and family life,

and just like it is for all the others, it’s a problem for me. Children need a home

and a mother. That’s why I try to prepare and edit my films in Paris during the

long summer vacation when the children are free and can come along… My

situation is a very difficult one. I make films about liberation movements. But,

the money for such film production is to be found not in Africa, but in Europe.

For that reason, I have to live where the money is to be raised, and then do my

work in Africa.
