Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Timbuktu is a 2014 film from Mauritania, directed and co-written by Abderrahmane Sissako.It is Inspired by... the Real Life takeover of Timbuktu—which, yes, is a real place, in the country of Mali—by the Ansar Dine jihadist group. The film opens with Ansar Dine apparently having just shown up in Timbuktu. They go around barking orders around the city by megaphone: singing is forbidden, soccer is forbidden, adultery is punishable by death. Yet despite their brutality they seem oddly unsure of themselves, as shown in one scene where the imam basically intimidates them into withdrawing from a mosque.Kidare, a nomadic herdsman camped outside of Timbuktu, is not at first affected by these events. His more cautious wife Satima thinks that they should get out right away, but Kidare doesn't want to run, and they stay put. Ansar Dine's sharia law crackdown in the city gradually grows more and more brutal and violent, but life goes on more or less as normal for Kidare, Satima, their daughter Toya, and their adopted son Issan. That is, until a tragic occurrence that ironically isn't caused by the jihadists gets Kidare into terrible trouble.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Determined Homesteader: Well, determined nomad, but Kidare refuses to leave like all the other nomads of the region have. It's a mistake. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Timbuktu / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: The first shot shows all the jihadists acting like goons, racing across the desert in a jeep, chasing a gazelle. The next shot shows them shooting up some old statues. Their special brand of stupid evil is well established. | |

For the Evulz: Really the only reason why Abdelkrim shot up a lone bush in the desert. | |
