Old movie but its a must-see. This short film/musical is a coming-of-age story about an African girl who’s private struggles with identity and patriarchal authority, lead her to the pivotal moment when she must publicly choose the path to her future. She must negotiate the dangerous obstacles that naturally result from the clash between tradition and modernity. Set in 1940′s Nigeria, this story is inspired by the life of women’s activist, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, the mother of political musician, Fela Kuti.
