- Commissioned in 1960 to mark Nigeria’s independence, Edric Connor directs and stars in this troubled production about shifting social relations in an emergent West African middle-class.
Pioneering West Indian filmmaker Edric Connor tours the Caribbean and Nigeria on the cusp of independence in these beautiful short films.
In 1959 he returned to the Caribbean, producing seven films in quick succession. A proud West Indian nationalist, Connor documents nation-building, focusing on flourishing commerce, reverently capturing the people and terrain.
