“Moi, un noir is, in effect, the most daring of films and the humblest.”-Jean-Luc Godard

(Me, A Black). With Moi, un noir, Rouch experiments with shared ethnography and improvisation, enlisting Oumarou Ganda, who later became a filmmaker, as a modern-day griot who narrates his and his friends' everyday experiences in the capital of the Ivory Coast during the last years of French colonialism. Nicknamed Edgar G. Robinson, Tarzan, Eddie Constantine, and Heddy Lamour, they migrated from Niger in hopes of finding work in the “new” urban Africa. While Robinson's disillusionment with his poverty and second-class status grows, he also dreams of becoming a boxing champion, married with a home and children. A playful yet enlightening portrait of the immigrant experience.
