Africa and France share a close, mutually beneficial relationship in the field of cinema. Senegalse director Moussa Touré is considered one of its important links. He has made films which have a lot to do with Senegal as well as France as he has cast French actors too in his films in order to get closer to African realities. For this artistic gesture, he has also been offered roles in some French films. Among his important films, one can cite films such as TGV and La Pirogue. However, despite its inherent strengths and noble intentions "Toubab Bi" remains under developed due to its all imposing exclusive focus on the lives of African immigrants in Paris. One might be led to think that there are no opportunities for native Africans in Senegal. Touré questions a highly pertinent questions- why does a friend leave another friend ? As a director, he is faithful towards villagers who have to leave Senegal in search of a job. The best part of the film is about excellent vignettes of the lives of African expatriates in Paris. Most viewers would identify this film as the return of the prodigal son. It is true that Toubab Bi has managed to get some awards at various film festivals, it remains a minor work as it does not have convincing answers to issues and problems depicted in the film. Lastly, this film provides a meaningful commentary about everything related to 'tradition versus modernity'.
