Synopsis
At the University of Ibadan in southwestern Nigeria, dedicated students hold weekly screenings of politically charged films and engage in lively debates on social issues. When their institution is engulfed by a teachers’ strike, these voices of dissent spill from the classroom onto the streets.
Editorial
Looked down upon by their elders, Nigerian students reclaim their agency in Alain Kassanda’s rousing documentary, in which observational vignettes bristle with political urgency. Seeking an education outside hallowed lecture halls, young activists turn their love of radical cinema into protest.
