Ouaga Girls

Ouaga Girls

In a country where youth unemployment is at 52%, jobs are a hot issue. The young girls at a mechanics school in Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou, are at a crucial point in their lives. Their dreams are being challenged by society's expectations, opinions, and fears regarding women. Theresa Traore Dahlberg follows the girls on their last year of school and exposes Burkina Faso's violent past and present. A feature-film debut and a coming-of-age story filled with warmth, laughter and heartbreak.
