content: Edited film: women empty baskets of millet onto the threshing ground and beat the grain with flails. The grain is separated from the chaff by repeated winnowing; the rest of the chaff is fanned away by shaking the grain in a gourd. The cleaned millet is divided among the women and poured into their baskets.
