Little Senegal is a 2001 Algerian film directed by Rachid Bouchareb. It was Algeria's submission to the 73rd Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee.[1][2]

Plot

Alloune, a guide at the museum of slavery on the Gorée island of Senegal, decides to go to New York City to look for his descendants who were deported there.[3] His trip takes him from Senegal's fields to Le Petit Senegal in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, where he finds one person from his family.[4]

Description

The purpose of the movie is to explore the African roots of Black American people who claim African origins but ignore their cultural past.[4] The movie led to the attribution of the name Little Senegal to a district in Upper Manhattan populated with Senegalese and other West African people, located in Harlem on West 116th Street, between Fifth and Eighth Avenues.[3]
