Synopsis:

From IMDb: “The lives of four people during the struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria.”

Poster: C+

Review: Attempting to create a beautiful aesthetic is only laudatory when it works. The fiery resistance narrative is a compelling one, but perhaps a sunrise in the background as the source would have been more evocative. Additionally, removing the overused background underlay on the right would have made it a smidge better.

Trailer: C

Review: What if there was a revolution and no one cared? Nigerian independence isn’t an uninteresting topic, but this trailer sure makes it feel like one. Resistance and rebellion need a more compelling, thought-provoking and energetic trailer even if the story isn’t primarily about that.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
