A native of Mauritania is delighted when he is chosen to work in Paris. Hoping to parlay the experience into a better life for himself, he eagerly prepares for his departure from his native land. Although an educated man, he has extreme difficulty finding work and an apartment. He sees racial inequity as blacks are relegated to manual labor while less skilled whites are given preferential treatment. A dinner with a liberal white friend even reveals a continuing attitude of colonization towards third world countries. The disappointed man runs off to the woods where he hears the far off cry of the jungle drums calling him home from a cold and indifferent land. Written by Dan Pavlides, Rovi
一个土生土长的毛里塔尼亚人被选中在巴黎工作时感到非常高兴。他急切地准备离开祖国,希望借此机会过上更好的生活。虽然他受过教育,但找工作和住房却极为困难。他认为种族不平等是因为黑人被降级为体力劳动,而低技能的白人却得到优惠待遇。与一位自由主义的白人朋友共进晚餐,甚至可以看出对第三世界国家持续的殖民态度。失望的男人跑到树林里,听到远处丛林里的鼓声在呼唤他回家,他来自一片冰冷冷漠的土地。作者: Dan Pavlides,Rovi
