Badini was co-director of

shea tree
, a source of cash to subsistence farmers in Burkina Faso. The almonds and the butter extracted from the nuts are used in cooking and body care. Although attempts have been made to apply "fair trade" principles, the film questions whether the villagers can in practice escape the implacable force of the market.[2] Le Beurre et l'argent du beurre was shown at the
