About the Film
In Makoko, the largest slum on water in Nigeria, Mrs. F. sets out to unite women by staging a play called Hear Word, an empowerment project based on true stories. Through highlighting gender inequality, her hope is to get women out of their position as the oppressed, convince them to speak up, and encourage them to connect. But before she can begin to chip away at these layers of oppression, she must overcome the unruly gatekeepers of patriarchy and religion.
