10:04:09:07 Salif be dominant.10:04:11:10 Who?10:04:12:08 You can’t just let the child

dance on the table the whole time10:04:15:12 My father once told me

that its important to know where you come from, the roots, the beginning.

10:04:22:20 And my mom said that you should put all life in a pot so that you can then find happiness.

10:04:51:11 I am driving with my mom and my dad to a big market in Benin.

10:04:55:13 I examine everything. There is so much to see.Everyone is rushing around. Transporting something.

10:05:07:09 I don’t want to hold my moms hand.I want to walk by myself,

10:05:11:08 until we are in the backyard at my grandma.10:05:52:019 All Wandaogo children call me “bandy chef”,

because I always want to have it my way.10:05:59:10 I want to be chef, just like my dad.10:06:04:16 Daddy, you can see?

I am a little more brown.10:06:09:01 And my dad a little more black.10:06:12:24 Of course you come from me, don’t you?10:06:14:17 Yes.10:06:19:17 Look at how you laugh.10:06:24:22 Dad are they the same?10:06:32:14 Yes!10:06:33:16 No they’re not the same,

one of them is a little bit more brown.10:06:39:14 Which one is more brown?10:06:42:20 No they’re not.

Look, one has a different color.10:06:46:20 Look it’s bend there.10:07:37:08 Sometimes I interlace my thoughts

and come up with my own stories.10:07:42:07 I forget Africa a little more every day.10:07:47:07 I rather like to imagine what life is like in

heaven,10:07:51:14 As you sit on a cloud and go shopping

or into the theatre ...without ever dying.

10:08:17:13 But my little heaven lives in the yard of my grandma,

10:08:20:04 when onkel Zeni dances with us.10:08:23:06 How can I forget that?10:08:26:20 I don’t want to sit still,

but my grandmother always calls me:

CROCODILES WITHOUT SADDLES [ Krokodile ohne Sattel ]a documentary by britta wandaogo // germany burkina faso 15:30min.

10:08:30:09 Kaddi and Kaddi and Kaddi and Kaddi10:08:35:20 What does she say?10:08:40:19 Which means?10:08:42:04 To come!10:08:47:17 Can you not understand your grandma that

well?10:08:53:10 But she’s nice?10:08:55:14 But I don’t understand her.10:09:01:20 And your sisters?10:09:03:24 My sisters are beautiful.10:09:11:00 Sometimes I feel like the center of the earth!

Kaddischa, the white one, the „NASARA“.My sisters also call me le Blanc, the white!

10:09:32:16 Now you are five years old, what do you want in five years a brother or a sister?

10:09:43:12 Hmm…Yes

10:09:44:06 Say it...hmm10:09:49:22 I can’t hear you.10:09:52:04 Yes your dad is harsh in that point. 10:10:00:17 I know you, that's why I’m strict with you!10:10:03:17 You are not even listening.10:10:05:12 I will send you somewhere.10:10:06:00 And where?10:10:07:24 Well that's my secret.10:10:09:14 Oh I already know.10:10:11:07 Where?10:10:12:22 I’m not telling you.10:10:42:10 I am back, I am happy and

I could shout it into the world.10:10:48:03 I don’t want to grow up!10:10:50:18 But can that even work?10:11:14:21 Oh wow, you totally feel the different world

here.10:11:40:18 The earth in Africa smells of energy and

power, but I can’t really taste it anymore.

1 10:11:50:21 I walk through the streets like a small tourist. Something has changed.

10:11:57:14 I just don’t know what!10:12:01:13 I want to be me, everyone else already

exists, and I know…

10:12:05:12 It’s not so dangerous here, what nonsense.I don’t believe that it is dangerous in Africa.

10:12:15:16 Because I was here several times.10:12:20:10 It’s not dangerous at all here!

10:13:06:00 I wake up somewhere at the end of nowhere and ponder...

10:13:11:17 I think about the end of the world and about myself.

10:13:16:12 My thoughts are haunted by all the things I don’t like about myself.

10:13:23:02 That I have problems in school. That I don’t have a best friend.

10:13:35:06 That I don’t have any siblings....that I have problems with my dad.

10:14:00:02 When I think of myself I allways think of the things I don’t like about me.

10:14:05:00 …although my mom only asked for the things I do like about me.

10:14:09:16 What I am proud of.10:14:12:00 My charisma.

My eyes.10:14:24:14 That I am so tall!10:14:30:20 …Yes
