Las 5: Ambientadas en África
Hoy en menos de 10 minutos Andrés Addiction te recomienda cinco películas cuyas historias se desarrollan en el continente africano.
Old Pals and N-Numbers
Like fond memories of long-ago lovers, beloved airplanes resurface occasionally from quiet corners of a pilot’s mind. We hear the last three digits of some familiar N-number and are flooded with reminiscences.
But rarely do the abbreviated call signs used in routine communications fully match the numbers of actual steeds we once flew — especially when 1500 miles and thirty years have passed under the wings. Along the way, you'll learn how Greg's airplane, the Flying Carpet, earned her name.

Timbuktu
We were already full-up on dogs when my wife and kids asked if we could adopt a disabled labrador retriever. When we did, my daughter asked if we could make a movie about him, and over the past ten years, we shot footage and interviews every few months or so. This episode draws from all of that material, and we used it to create a short companion video for this episode:
I did not foresee how much our lives would be impacted by Timbuktu. Here's his story...

MayDay SOS Protecting the Desert Elephants of Mali with Rory Young
It’s the Big Six: Wildlife, People, Conflict, Ivory trafficking, transnational crime and climate change. How do you protect one of the oldest migration routes of one of the rarest elephants and some of the oldest cultures caught in the crosshairs of all this? Meet Rory Young and Chengeta Wildlfe, helping the communities whose history and future is entwined in living with the Desert elephants of Mali, as they make their 3000 mile circular trek around Timbuktu that has existed in an exquisite dance of survival for centuries. The speeded up human world and global pressures has dramatically affected the traditional cultures who live alongside these elephants and these corridors have become a locus for transnational crime, ethnic wars, and political agendas and extremism from all sides in extreme conditions. The evolution of the world has changed, and conservation models must also adapt and evolve, and our worldview evolve, adapt and take action.
Timbuktu
2012 haben jihadistische Gruppen die Macht in Nordmali übernommen. Auch in Timbuktu herrschte Terror. Wer konnte, floh in benachbarte Länder oder in den Süden Malis, so wie der Bibliothekar Abdelkader Haidara. Dem Leiter der „Mamma Haidara“-Bibliothek und zahlreichen Helfer_innen gelang es, knapp 300.000 Manuskripte aus Timbuktu zu schmuggeln. Verpackt in Blechkisten, wurden sie mit Booten, Lastwagen und Autos nach Bamako, der rund 1.000 Kilometer entfernten Hauptstadt Malis, transportiert. Islamisten hätten diese wertvollen Dokumente, wie zahlreiche antike Grabstätten, wahrscheinlich zerstört.
Die Stadt Timbuktu war im Mittelalter ein geistiges Zentrum der islamischen Wissenschaft und Kultur. Bereits im 12. Jahrhundert war Timbuktu an der nördlichen Biegung des Flusses Niger eine wichtige Handelsstadt. Ab dem fünfzehnten Jahrhundert wurde Timbuktu auch intellektuelles Zentrum der islamischen Kultur und Wissenschaft. Gelehrt_innen aus anderen Regionen zogen in die Wüstenstadt und brachten ihre eigenen Bibliotheken mit.
Die historischen Handschriften sind von unermesslichem Wert und gehören seit 1988 zum UNESCO Weltkulturerbe. Sie beinhalten neben Koran-Auslegungen Texte über Staatsführung und Menschenrechte, über Astronomie, Medizin und Umwelt, Familienrecht, Wissenschaft und Kunst. In Bamako soll ein Archivgebäude entstehen, um die Manuskripte fachgerecht unterzubringen, zu katalogisieren und zu digitalisieren. Doch viele müssen zunächst restauriert werden. Mit der Digitalisierung wollen die Initiator_innen die historischen Dokumente auch der internationalen Forschungsgemeinschaft zugänglich machen. Unterstützt wird diese Arbeit vom deutschen Auswärtigen Amt, der Universität Hamburg und der Gerda Henkel Stiftung.
