Dôlè (2000) - 79 min

Country: Gabon
Director: Imunga Ivanga
Cast: David N'Guema-N'Koghe, Emile Mepango & Roland Nkeyi.
Dôlè is a new lottery storm that makes people dream high. Mougler is a school kid who always spends his time with a gang. Mougler needs money to buy medicines for his sick mother and he is planning to do something big.
"There are two kinds of people in the world; those whose destiny is shaped by events and those who shape their own destiny."
Dôlè was the comeback Gabonese feature film after two decades of inactive filmmaking. The movie opens with a rapper swag which offers a nice intro to the story. Mougler resembles the ghetto youth that enters into the world of petty crimes. This movie is considered one of the best movies ever made in Gabon and director Imunga Ivanga beautifully describes the urban youth in their everyday lives. Imunga Ivanga has got the potential to make more good films. Overall, it's an engaging piece of work and worth a try if you like to watch a Gabonese film.
Verdict: Good
