content: Edited film: shows two excerpts of the dodi dances which take place in the Kenga village of Barama, Chad. These dances are characterised by a stamping step which requires a considerable amount of energy. Performers withdraw to the border of the group at times to catch their breath. In the second part of the film the dancers are joined by several Arab women, who can be clearly distinguished from the Kenga women.
