- Summary:
- "Provides an intimate, candid, visual observation of the realities of daily life in these oil-soaked communities. Intercut with dramatic verité and archival footage; interviews with Nigerian activists, historians, and women's leaders; facts and figures to support material; unique, and artful recreation drawings depicting the historic Women's War of 1929 enhanced with After Effects, these elements combine to tell dramatic stories. Graphics and animation transport us into the Niger Delta, and powerful, affecting still images and news headlines with graphic applications combine to bring the stories to life." --Website
