Axe
Katsine
People of some remote village do not know that there is an invention such as an ax. A passerby, seeing how the people suffer without this tool, gives them his own. Rejoicing with generous gift villagers immediately begin to run up the instrument. But the trouble is they don't know how to use it.
The omission leads not only to victims but also to the complete ruin of the village.
This film parable is a kind of warning to humanity, which thoughtlessly and inefficiently uses dangerous tools and technologies which are a great disaster for the planet.
