“Nigerian, Femi Nylander, brings attention to the forgotten victims of
colonial atrocity in a new film, African Apocalypse, from award-winning
director Rob Lemkin. Activist Femi Nylander unearths the shocking
reality of Joseph Conrad's seminal work, 'Heart of Darkness.' African
Apocalypse follows the trail of a 19th century French colonial military
commander who burned his way across Africa. With communities still
devastated by a century-old atrocity speaking out for the first time,
Nylander begins to question his own sense of belonging.”
This is a must watch for anyone trying to reckon with the ongoing
struggle against colonialism. Find out more and watch the trailer here https://africanapocalypsefilm.com/#about
