Nigeria/UK, 1995, 35mm, color, 90 min.

This debut feature film of Ngozi Onwurah (The Body Beautiful), which takes its title from a song by the hip-hop group Public Enemy, is a sci-fi fable set fifteen years into the future in a claustrophobic black ghetto. It is the story of a black man and his white girlfriend caught in a chaotic and violent environment, adrift in no man’s land. Onwurah’s uncompromising and disturbing film earned its director the first prize at the Birmingham International Film Festival, the Cologne Film Festival and the audience prize at the Verona Film Festival.
