Premiere of “The Man Died” in Lagos

The special screening of an adaptation of Wole Soyinka’s “The Man Died” gathered filmmakers, writers, and students for conversations about memory and resistance. Post-screening panels explored censorship, carceral histories, and the contemporary relevance of dissent. Curators highlighted the role of archives and festivals in sustaining public dialogue. Organisers promised wider exhibition and educational kits for schools to anchor debates about free expression, responsibility, and the civic value of art.
