PopChange Film Club is Counterpoints‘ new monthly programme featuring filmmakers from migrant and refugee backgrounds. Join us for the screening of Alain Kassanda‘s award winning feature documentary Coconut Head Generation.
Every Thursday in the University of Ibadan, the oldest university in Nigeria, the student-run Film Club discusses films from around the world. Contrary to stereotypes of the new generation embodied in the Nigerian expression “Coconut Head Generation”—used to describe “stubborn and brainless youth”—these students transform a small lecture hall into an essential space for debate on pressing social issues from education and elections to gender and equality.
This screening is followed by a Q&A with the director and one of the contributors in the film and will be hosted by journalist K Biswas.
This film is in Pidgin, Yoruba, French and English with English subtitles.
