The movie "Hyenas" (also known as "Hyènes") is a 1992 Senegalese film directed by Ousmane Sembene. It is based on Friedrich Dürrenmatt's play "The Visit."
The story revolves around a wealthy woman named Linguère Ramatou who returns to her impoverished hometown after many years. She offers a large sum of money to the townspeople in exchange for the death of Dramaan Drameh, a man who had impregnated her as a young girl and then abandoned her.
The townspeople, desperate for money, initially reject the offer but eventually succumb to the temptation. They turn against Dramaan, who is now a respected man in the community, and plot to kill him. Dramaan's wife, who is aware of the situation, tries to save him but fails.
The movie explores themes of greed, corruption, and the moral decay of society. It delves into the question of whether justice can be bought and the consequences of compromising one's values for personal gain.
