THE SUPREME PRICE http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c881.shtml
Award winning director Joanna Lipper tells the story of Hafsat Abiola, daughter of human rights heroine Kudirat Abiola, and Nigeria's President-elect M.K.O. Abiola, who won a historic vote in 1993 that promised to end years of military dictatorship. The Abiola family's intimate story unfolds against the epic backdrop of Nigeria's evolution from independence in 1960, through a series of military dictatorships to present day civilian rule as Hafsat continues to face the challenge of transforming a corrupt culture of governance into a democracy capable of serving Nigeria's most marginalized population: women.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, I am always happy to accept requests for reviewing the film in an appropriate journal.
Thanks for supporting independent women filmmakers!
Best,
Amy Aquilino
