About The Price of Freedom
After refusing the sexual advances of her village chief and her father's authority, a young woman runs away from home and goes to town. There she meets several members of her family and tries to start her life from scratch. She enrolls at a high school and makes new friends. However, she realizes that social relations in town also depend on sexual favors and that around her everyone has given in to that practice. When she loses the only man she loved, the girl returns to her village and in a fit of rage sets it on fire.
Directed by Jean-Pierre Dikongué-Pipa, The Price of Freedom leans on a strong ensemble — Marie-Thérèse Badje, Bibi Kouo, Marthe Momha — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1978.
