Highly recommend Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène's film Xala (1975).
There are English subtitles, but folks learning French will find the language crystal clear and precise. And of course there is Wolof, too.

Meet Ousmane Sembène, the Father of African Cinema! His bold films like Black Girl & Ceddo broke barriers, telling authentic African stories in African languages. A griot of the screen, he challenged colonialism and sparked change. #SembeneOusmane #AfricanCinema #FilmLegend

Love that to a degree it's about retribution. And in some ways, a simular story could be set in any former colony. But it's the distinctly African idioms and customs sprinkled in that made it a treat.

Malian Filmmaker Souleymane Cissé (1940-2025) Taught Us How to See

🎥 Ousmane Sembène’s Faat Kiné centres on a self-made woman navigating modern Dakar, balancing business, motherhood, and a society still shaped by patriarchy. It’s sharp, grounded, and quietly radical.
