Great Mosque of Djenné

Image via Wikipedia

Through the story of a mason in Djenne, Komusa Tenapo, this documentary examines the African tradition of mud architecture in Mali. The environmental genius of these ancient construction techniques—thick walls with tiny windows that keep the interiors cool despite the stifling heat—is expressed in strikingly beautiful designs that defines the town of Djenne.

Komusa is seen employing thousand-year-old construction techniques, plus secret knowledge he inherited from his family of masons, including religious rituals to protect homes and workers from evil spirits.
