Dipri is a form of initiation practiced by the Abidji people. During a colourful trip that takes place every year, the population engage in a demonstration of religious mystic power fuelled by a collective trance, while great masters suffer injuries with a knife they claim cure instantly.
The director Roger M'Bala, one of the most important of his country, has decided to film the ancestral costumes of several tribes of Ivory Coast before they disappear completely. Being a member of this community he mingles with the crowd without being noticed, delivering the essence of the celebration.
