An unmarked grave, a dilapidated cinema on the premises of a government ministry: this is what remains of Sita Bella's passage on earth. And yet she was the first woman journalist, the first airline pilot, one of Africa's first filmmakers, whose film 'Tam Tam à Paris' was shown at the first edition of FESPACO in 1969.
