Binta and the Great Idea

is the title of short film that we watched in the class. It was interesting story which mainly talked about the education in Africa. Binta is a girl who lives in a poor African country and she really loves going to school and learning. Her cousin Soda who really wants to go to school cannot go because of her father. Soda's father thinks that girls don't need an education since their work is to help the housework. However, this Soda's father's idea which narrows the girls' future is ridiculous and the students in Binta's school made a skit which showed Soda's father that he is convincing his daughter with an awful idea.
This short film also talked about "the Great Idea" which Binta's father has. His idea is about adopting a tubab child in their community. He thinks tubab child can learn something important that he/she cannot learn in his/her country. I think his idea is interesting and new but I'm not sure if it is the great idea. This is because tubab child may be happier and can spend more delightful time if he/she is adopt by a rich family. However, it is true that adopting a tubab child in Africa is interesting and might teach so much to the child.
