This powerful biopic, directed by Bolanle Austen-Peters, chronicles the life of the legendary Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, a woman whose name became synonymous with resistance. The narrative uses a non-linear structure, beginning with the harrowing 1977 military raid on her son Fela Kuti’s “Kalakuta Republic,” where an aging Funmilayo (Joke Silva) is thrown from a balcony.
