"Blakata" means "letting go" in Dyula, one of the languages spoken in Burkina Faso. It is a documentary western shot with the horsemen of Ouagadougou and Bobo Dioulasso. The Burkinabe riders, named "Warriors", embody the powerful equestrian tradition of Burkina Faso. The stallion is the emblem of the country and many animist rituals are linked to it.
