- Summary
- "In Niger, a country where only 50 thousand of its nearly 9 million inhabitants are salaried workers, the work done in the 'informal sector,' where revenues are very meager, is essential to the survival of thousands of Nigerien families ... Women of the Sahel visits with a number of these women as they make peanut oil, extract salt from earth, and turn gypsum into plaster. The film also introduces the craftswomen who create marvelously decorated pottery, beautifully woven straw mats, and intricate leather work. All this is done in the hope of earning a few dollars per week."--Container.
