During an internship at the National Film Board of Canada

a young film-maker from the Republic of Niger

Moustapha Alassane, made this movie.

The death of the Gandji

In a small village,

a peaceful society of toads was living.

One of them was named Abdou.

He was out for a walk.

Unfortunately, he met a strange animal.

It was terribly scary.

He told everything to the village chief.

Big! Big! Big!

Over there.

Go with him.

Abdou showed the monster's hiding place to the hunter sent by the chief.

The hunter tells the chief that the monster is gigantic.

The chief decides to go see the monster himself.

"Here it is!", said a notable.

Up on a rock, the chief says he doesn't see anything.

There is nothing here, you liars!

Back home, he started looking for a solution to save the village.

What should I do?

He went to see the village witchdoctor.

He suggested he should offer his daughter to the hunter who would kill the monster.

Attention! Attention!
