L'urlo dell'innocente
Neo, una bambina di dodici anni, sparisce in una zona rurale del Botswana. Dopo un’indagine frettolosa, la polizia locale dice alla madre che la figlia è stata assalita e uccisa dalle bestie feroci. Cinque anni dopo, la giovane Amantle Bokaa viene inviata in quel villaggio sperduto dell''Africa per assolvere un tirocinio nel locale ambulatorio, e lì per caso ritrova in uno sgabuzzino una scatola dalla misteriosa etichetta. La scatola contiene qualcosa che riporta al caso ormai archiviato e dà luogo alla ricerca della verità, verità che risulterà ben più terribile e pericolosa di quanto Amantle potesse inizialmente immaginare.

Les cris de l'innocente

release date: Jan 01, 2006
Les cris de l'innocente
Amantle accomplit son service national dans un dispensaire de brousse, du côté des superbes paysages du delta de l''Okavango. Affectée à des tâches subalternes, elle découvre une boîte contenant les vêtements d''une petite fille, couverts de sang. Il s''avère que ce sont ceux de la jeune Neo, disparue cinq ans plus tôt. La police avait classé l''affaire : " attaque par un lion, aucune trace de l''accident ". Véritable empêcheuse de danser en rond, Amantle va relancer l''enquête, au grand dam des autorités locales. Dans les hautes sphères aussi on s''inquiète de cette exigence de vérité qu''osent poser des villageois supposés dociles. On ne parle plus de lion mais d''erreur humaine, d''élimination de preuves, de crime rituel perpétré par des gens haut placés. La découverte des vêtements gêne du monde, les coupables sans doute, ceux qui ont peur des pouvoirs occultes certainement, ceux aussi qui craignent et jalousent leurs supérieurs. Mais Amantle ne lâche pas, elle contacte une amie avocate et se fait des alliés parmi les villageois qui voient en elle la seule chance d''en savoir plus, de coincer peut-être les coupables impunis de ces meurtres rituels relativement réguliers qui frappent de petites campagnardes. Maîtrisant parfaitement les dialogues, les portraits, les cadres de vie, Unity Dow écrit là non seulement un bon thriller sur fond d''Afrique partagée entre modernité et tradition mais aussi un réquisitoire contre des pratiques excessivement barbares.
