The Legend of the Vagabond Queen of Lagos (2024)
Jawu bears the mark of a warrior king but lives humbly, selling swallows at the local market, saving up for the better future she’s determined to build for herself and her son. The pair reside in the Agbojedo community, a floating slum planted in the lagoon that gives Lagos its name. Just as rumours begin circulating regarding government plans for new developments that would raze their homes, Jawu spies a corrupt politician burying a nest egg of cash. Struck by her good fortune, she takes the money for herself, thinking this might be her way out. Jawu doesn’t know that she is destined for a bigger battle that is yet to come.
Directors: Mathew Cerf, Tina Edukpo, James Tayler, Bisola Akinmuyiwa, Elijah Atinkpo, Temitope Ogungbamila, Samuel Okechukwu.
