Today, we were at the American Documentary Showcase at the Ozone Cinemas in Yaba, Lagos. It was coordinated by Benny Uche of the The Public Affairs Section of the United States Embassy and Mr. Madu Chikwendu, Regional Secretary of the Pan-African Federation of Filmmakers (FEPACI). Mrs. Daisy Chikwendu, the famous Nigerian author Prof. Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo, Hope Obioma Opara, the President/Co-founder of Eko International Film Festival and Publisher of the Supple magazine were among the notable people and others at the event.
The documentary Street Fight on the 2002 Mayoral run of Cory Booker against longtime mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Sharpe James was very interesting. Cory lost, but in 2006 he got elected as the Mayor, becoming the 36th mayor of Newark.
