This film was very interesting and made me think a lot. A friend of Binta's father was impressed to know the lives of European, big boat with advanced equipment and a watch with alarm, for example. In the school where Binta goes, a teacher told the children that in order to get together we must be mixed and respect each other no matter how rich or poor, short or tall. Binta loves to do to school and looks really happy. On the other hand, Soda can't go to school though she wants to because of her father. He thinks girls in Africa don't need to be educated and should be home and learn houseworks. His extreme idea was changed in the end by the play which school children played. It was pointed out in this film that though European people are rich, there is something they lose such as the mind of sharing. Unlike the people in the village, they don't take care each other.
Binta's father's great idea is to adopt tubab children. In that way, both people in Africa and people in Europe can find out what they lose and the world will be better.
I think it's good that there is diversity in every country, and it's natural that there is a variety of idea based on their own culture. However, there should not be a difference in the opportunity of education or food supply. We have to know what is going on in the places we don't know and start something to make the world much better.
