Mami Wata

Directed by C.J. “Fiery” Obasi

Nigeria
2023, 107 min

In the coastal village of Iyi, Mama Efe acts as a mediator for the water deity Mami Wata. When tragedy strikes, skepticism grows, and external forces threaten their way of life. With stunning black-and-white cinematography, the film intertwines mythology with political commentary. Prisca, Efe’s daughter, must restore faith and harmony. A visually poetic exploration of tradition, power, and defiance, it culminates in a battle for triumph amidst the chaos of revelation.
