The narrative reaches its peak with the historic Abeokuta Women’s Union protests. Fed up with unfair taxation that crippled market women, Funmilayo (Kehinde Bankole) organizes a massive movement of thousands. They don’t just march; they occupy the palace and use the power of their voices and collective presence to strip power from those who abused it. It is a story of grit, intellectual brilliance, and an unwavering belief that freedom is a right, not a privilege.

Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti Genre: Biography, Drama, Romance Stars: Kehinde Bankole, Joke Silva, Iyimide Ayo-Olumoko, Ibrahim Suleiman Release Date: 2024 Runtime: 89mins
