Madeleine Beauséjour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Madeleine Beauséjour (1946–1994) was a film editor and director from Réunion.
She was a co-founder of the activist organization Révolution Afrique.[1] Her activist training activities and film efforts from the 1970s to the mid-1980s reflected a time marked by postcolonial racist crimes and struggles against “colonialism at home."[2] She had links with international movements such as the Black Panthers, who financed her film project in Senegal at the end of the 1960s.[3]
The 1988 short French-Creole film she directed Koman I le la sours portrayed the life of a young mother in the La Source district in Saint-Denis,[4] whose house is used as a hangout by the local children.[5]
