Filmmaker, musician and artist Wasis Diop's Joe Ouakam, is an artisanal documentary profiling the titular Senegalese artist, philosopher and performer, an emblematic, infamously rebellious figure in Dakar since the 1960s. Diop followed his friend Ouakam over the course of a day on the Dakar's busy streets, capturing his singular rhythm, and recording his emotions, words of wisdom and knowing silences.
