| Les Saignantes | comment |
Les Saignantes is a 2005 Cameroonian science-fiction film by Jean Pierre Bekolo, although it really is like nothing else within the genre. The plot follows two young women living in a dystopic Yaoundé, Majolie (Adèle Ado) and Chouchou (Dorylia Calmel), as they attempt to hide the body of a political leader who died during sex. What ensues is a commentary on the political elite, community and womanhood, incorporating elements of Beti spirituality. | |

Women Are Wiser | |
| Les Saignantes / int_565106b3 | comment |
Women Are Wiser: Justified in that the film focuses on the emancipation and spirituality of women, especially the concept of mevungu which empowers and binds Beti women together through a moral promise. | |

Unproblematic Prostitution: Somewhat. Majolie and Chouchou are still not in a position of power. | |

Gold Digger | |
| Les Saignantes / int_f6b2bfb7 | comment |
Gold Digger: A sympathetic portrayal. The director himself observes that young women in Cameroon are often forced by circumstances to perform sex acts for money and advantages from a very young age, even being encouraged by their families, and the healing ritual of mevungu is performed as a result. | |
