Coconut Head Generation

Congolese-French filmmaker Alain Kassanda vividly documents the debates at the University of Ibadan’s film club. Nigeria’s oldest university becomes a stage for heated discussions on African art, decolonization, patriarchy, and more. The students debate with revolutionary fervor, addressing not only the colonial history of the country but also urgent global concerns. The film closely captures the students' engagement, culminating in their #EndSARS protests of 2020. COCONUT HEAD GENERATION portrays Nigerian youth, deeply rooted in historical awareness and committed to shaping their future as they confront the legacies of colonial violence and modern police brutality.
