Synopsis
Camp de Thiaroye is a 1988 Senegalese war-drama film written and directed by Ousmane Sembène and Thierno Faty Sow. It depicts the Thiaroye massacre, which occurred on the morning of December 1, 1944 in Thiaroye, Dakar. In the weeks leading up to the massacre, members of the Senegalese Tirailleurs at the Thiaroye military camp had been protesting poor camp conditions and revocation of promised demobilization benefits. With the camp declared to be in open mutiny, French forces opened fire on the mutineers. French authorities reported a death toll of 35, but estimates range up to 300.
