TALK WITH FUNMI

Funmi Iyanda travels around Nigeria,

meeting an eclectic mix of characters from politicians to hunters, farmers to socialists, trafficked women to pop stars. This social documentary series is a cinematic insider journey into the heart of a country often misrepresented, Africa’s most powerful and populous country. When a story is told by one of the most universal African voices, with honesty, curiosity and intelligence devoid of an outdated European, paternalistic imperial eye, it naturally brings out universality, respect and similarities rather than superiority, difference and misunderstanding. It is as refreshing as it is entertaining and insightful.
