“Witnessing (and perhaps sharing) the determination and resilience of these wonderful young people results in a powerful viewing experience.”
—International Cinephile Society

“’COCONUT HEAD GENERATION’ showcases the brilliance and resilience of young Nigerians who are coming together to create a space for themselves and reclaim their power.”
—Human Rights Watch

This documentary follows a group of students in southwestern Nigeria at the University of Ibadan who develop and run a cinema club to discuss films and the issues they examine with weekly viewings and discussion sessions. A fascinating view of cinematic culture and youth activism. Free Member Monday — free admission for all AFS members on Monday, July 8.
