For the Best and for the Onion (French: Pour le meilleur et pour l'oignon) is a 2008 Nigeriendocumentary film about onion farmers in Galmi, Niger, written and directed by Sani Elhadj Magori.[1]
Filmed in the director's hometown over the course of a single growing season, the film follows how the price of onions affects the lives of two young villagers who wish to wed, while the father of the would-be bride, Yaro, struggles to make enough from his crop to be able to offer his daughter a fitting marriage.[2]
