Mandabi is a 1968 film written and directed by Ousmane Sembène. The film is based on Sembène's novel The Money-Order. It is the director's first film in his native Wolof language. Since most of the Senegalese population did not understand French, Sembène wanted to create cinema for Wolof speakers. This is the first full-length African language film from West Africa.
