“The father of African film” has just passed away. Senegalese writer and filmmaker SembÃ¨ne Ousmane died in Dakar yesterday following an illness. He was 84.

I have searched for an obituary for Sembene Ousmane and so far this has been the best I could find.

Not sure what the point of saying he had 3 children out of “wedlock” has to do with an obituary of Ousmane and his life’s work! is it not sufficient to say he is survived by his wives and his children?
