Based on the harrowing prison memoir by Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka and set against the backdrop of Nigeria’s civil war, The Man Died chronicles Soyinka’s imprisonment without trial by a brutal military regime determined to silence his voice. Through solitary confinement, torture, and deprivation, Soyinka’s resolve to fight against tyranny and injustice only grows stronger. Interwoven with flashbacks to his earlier life as a writer and activist, the film reveals the profound inner strength and unbreakable spirit that drives Soyinka’s resistance.

Followed by a Q&A with director Awam Ampka.
