The African Doctor (in French Bienvenue à Marly-Gomont) is a 2016 French comedy-drama film starring Marc Zinga and Aïssa Maïga. It is based on Kamini Zantoko's personal experience, which first inspired him the famous/memetic humorous Hip-Hop song "Marly-Gomont".After his graduation as MD in a French university, Seyolo Zantoko, a Zairian, wants to stay in France. The only opportunity he has to be allowed to stay is accepting to work in a small backward village of Northern France. He settles there with his wife and his two children. Their integration in the local community will be more difficult than he expected. | |

The African Doctor / int_3149c4b0 | comment |
It Will Never Catch On: The film is set in the 70's. Dr Zantoko tells his daughter that one day she could play in France national football team. She answers there are very few black people in the French team. In was true in the 70's, but it is clearly not the case in 2016◊. | |

All of the Other Reindeer: The Zantokos in the village. Most villagers are outright hostile to them because they are black. In particular, the children suffer from this situation at school, where they are the target of racial slurs. | |

The African Doctor / int_a8abe9d1 | comment |
Separated by a Common Language: Anne Zantoko, who speaks French perfectly, does not understand a word from the local dialect, vindious (vingt dieux in Standard French, which means "for God's sake"). She thinks this is a form of salutation, since some people say this when they see her (actually, they say it because they are surprised to see a black person). So, she uses it to say hello. | |

Unwanted Rescue: The pregnant woman does not want to be saved by Dr Zantoko. She does not trust him because he is black. The situation is dire enough that he, along with her husband, manage to force the woman into accepting help. His saving the day is a major turning point in the village accepting him. | |
