Drawing from Wole Soyinka’s prison memoir, this film chronicles the Nobel laureate’s imprisonment and unyielding resistance under Nigeria’s military regime. Isolated yet unbroken, he resists silence through imagination and moral conviction. A powerful testament to artistic freedom, intellectual defiance, and the cost of speaking truth to power. This film is a gripping portrait of endurance amid political oppression.
