When Nigeria Happens
Fagbo and his dance crew are at the heart of a beautiful, human dance film where movement and music tell a story of creativity and survival.
Fagbo and his dance crew – Pokko, Lighter, Movement, Colos, and Poppy – live for their art and dream of building a future on their own terms in Lagos. When Fagbo’s mother falls seriously ill, his life is turned upside down. The film features choreographed dance sequences woven seamlessly into the narrative, using dance as a language to explore freedom, identity, and resistance.
