Emitaï ([ɛ.mi.ta.i], name of a Diola deity) is a 1971 Senegalese drama film directed by Ousmane Sembène.

[1] During World War II, the Vichy government conscripts men from France's colonies.

A revolt breaks out in a Diola village where the women hide the rice crop harvest instead of submitting to the French tax.

The Diola attempt to consult their gods, including the titular Emitaï, but the standoff with the French only intensifies.

This sudden political shift, however, does not change the situation at the village level, and colonial forces ultimately carry out a massacre of the Diola men.
