23. Afro-Marxism in Nollywood? - A review of Saworoide (1999)

"The parable of the drum as the voice of the people"


Another one for the film heads -- our review of Tunde Kelani's classic Saworoide (1999). Is this the first (and only) Nollywood film to advocate for popular resistance to capitalist environmental degredation? Is the 'traditional' aesthetic of the film distracting or inspiring? Does the film ultimately succeed as an effective form of leftist propoganda?


Full episode out for patrons only (w a shorter version to come for the teeming unwashed hordes).
