ELDER'S CORNER
Special Features: Q&A with filmmaker Siji Awoyinka
Filmmaker Siji Awoyinka pays tribute to the countless Nigerian musicians whose vibrant music — Juju, Afrobeat and everything in between — formed the cultural and political backdrop of the country's march toward independence through the 1950s and '60s. Mixing interviews with rare archival footage, ELDER'S CORNER brings to vivid life Nigeria's rich musical tradition and will have audiences bopping along to the catchy beats.
