A teenage boy sets out to avenge his father’s murder in this quietly intense parable of revenge and forgiveness set in the wake of Chad’s decades-long civil war.
Every Thursday, a group of students from the University of Ibadan—the oldest in Nigeria—organizes a film club, transforming a small amphitheater into a political agora where young people refine their vision and develop a critical voice. “Coconut Head Generation,” a scornful expression to designate a stubborn and brainless youth, takes on a whole new meaning when the students turn this stigma around, reclaiming their freedom of thought. Director Alain Kassanda’s empathetic portrait captures passionate students debating politics, gender, and the future of their nation.
Join us for a Q&A with director Alain Kassanda as well as co-cinematographer and subject Tobi Akinde following the 7pm screenings on April 26 and 27.
