VIOLENCE IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE THEY UNDERSTAND

Warning: Spoilers
In Los Angeles a group of Nigerians hold an oil magnate hostage in order to prevent the execution of one of their comrades back home. The story is told as a flashback showing that Nigeria is ripe for revolution. Impoverished people are facing a corrupt government, a greedy oil company, and a press that feeds off of misery, although that last part was poorly developed.

This is a sad story of despair promoting the revolution predicted by Marx. The language was a little cliche in showing us that the rebels are all justified and the government and oil companies are all corrupt. Ebiere (Mbong Amata) a western educated Nigerian attempts to lead her people in peaceful protest as the story centers around her.

Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. One quick rape scene.
