Bodies in Dissent

6m 5s

Directed by Ufuoma Essi • 2021 • United Kingdom

BODIES IN DISSENT is an exploration of the body as a central site of remembrance and resistance, exploring ideas around “bodily insurgency” and using the body as an archive, a point of return, a position of refusal, and a broker between transgenerational lives and histories, past, present, and future.
