A captivating documentary by Pietra Brettkelly (New Zealand/Nigeria, 2026, 100 min) following The Critics, a collective of young filmmakers in Kaduna, Nigeria. In a city where crocodiles have nearly vanished, brothers Raymond, Ronald, Richard Yusuff, Godwin, and Victor Josiah create handmade science-fiction universes using sewn-together greenscreens and neighborhood performers. Over 13 years of meticulous filmmaking, Brettkelly captures their raw, restless energy as they convert isolation into fantastical cinema. The film navigates their political conversations, moments of uncertainty, and fierce determination to craft the future they imagine—through self-made spectacle and boundless imagination.
