anne@takapr.comThe Agbajowo Collective is a group of filmmakers and young storytellers from informal settlements across Lagos, working collaboratively with international filmmakers to tell stories of resilience, justice, and community. Rooted in lived experience, members like Bisola Akinmuyiwa, Segun Elijah Atinkpo, Tina Edukpo, Okechukwu Samuel, and Temitope Ogungbamila bring authentic perspectives from Lagos’ waterfront slums, while international collaborators James Tayler and Mathew Cerf support through creative mentorship and co-direction. Together, the Collective uses film as a tool for advocacy, amplifying marginalized voices and reclaiming the narrative of urban Africa.
The Legend of The Vagabond Queen of Lagos (Nigeria) – Compétition internationale LM

Jawu lives in one of the floating slums pushed into
the lagoon which gives the megacity Lagos its name
– a young mother scraping by in an indifferent city.
However, the spirit of the great warrior king
Egbaezen has marked her for a terrible responsibility
and ordeal. Danger now threatens his people, as
corrupt officials conspire to evict thousands from
their ancestral homes. Egbaezen’s spirit takes the
form of an African Grey parrot, and sets in motion a
chain of events that will change Jawu and her entire
community forever.
