NYFF52 "Timbuktu" Q&A | Abderrahmane Sissako  

Filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako discusses his film "Timbuktu" following its U.S. premiere at the 52nd New York Film Festival.

A serenely composed vision of the humiliation and terror wrought by foreign Islamic jihadists who occupy the ancient Malian city of Timbuktu. A film by turns wondrous and terrifying.
