  abstract: Dôlè offers a Gabonese perspective on the global crisis facing today's youth. With familial and societal structures crumbling, young people are increasingly thrown back for support on each other and an all-encompassing international pop culture. This film reveals that, whether in Libreville or in our own inner cities and suburbs the underlying causes of youthful disaffection can be remarkably similar. With Ça twiste à Poponguine, Dôlè provides one of the most affectionate and affecting portraits of African youth poised precariously on the cusp of modernity. Winner of the first-place Gold Tanit at the 2000 Carthage Film Festival, It has already been widely compared to François Truffaut's iconic coming of age film -- a kind of "Le quatre cents coups" in Gabon. Dôlè begins not with plot but with performance. On a rooftop overlooking the city, in a scene which could happen anywhere, a group of young men vent their frustrations in instantly recognizable rhythms. Performing only for themselves, they aggressively search for an identity through the universal patois of hip-hop. When they plot a robbery to obtain one of the necessary accoutrements of that lifestyle, what they call un ghettoblaster, one cannot help but wonder if the image is reflecting reality or has begun to determine the reality. This begs the question: What does it mean to be "real" if this is essentially a pose, one stance among many for approaching a particular reality? The main character, Mougler, seems almost to be a sociological study of a ghetto youth slipping into a life of petty crime. As is so often the case, there is an absent male figure, a dissolute father who has abandoned his family; there is also a strong, long-suffering mother who, however, is slowly dying from an unspecified disease. The larger society represented by school does not appear to offer Mougler any better support system. Once an outstanding student, he now affects the truculent stance of a gangbanger, reading rap magazines rathe…
