Timbuktu

Law and order is ridiculously applied to the daily lives of Timbuktu's inhabitants, a city in Mali, and a film by Abderrahmane Sissako, a brutal unforgiving violent accentuation of a fruitless interpretation of Islamic texts, interpreted to profit those in power, regardless of what the texts actually say.

Alternative voices emphasizing Islam's focus on understanding and forgiveness express themselves but are immediately ignored due to their lack of influence.

It's men with guns, large and in charge, unconcerned with their lack of knowledge, severely punishing anyone who breaks their arbitrary laws.

Much more direct than Leviafan.

Musicians performing privately at night face the whip even though they're singing about God.

Women who don't wear gloves and socks are penalized.

A man who sees a girl and wants to marry her is fully supported when the girl's family objects to his inappropriate conduct.

Soccer is frowned upon.

Tough times if you aren't part of the ruling minority.

No opportunities.

No growth.

No music.

Make things as boring and lifeless as possible to maximize and inculcate your barren conception of reality.

This is how the rulers proceed.

Heavily armed.

With constant surveillance.
