The Legend of the Vagabond Queen of Lagos

**Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival Screening — Wed. April 9, 7:30 PM — Discussion to follow the film!** The Legend of the Vagabond Queen of Lagos tells the story of a young mother from a waterfront slum in Lagos who stumbles upon a horde of corrupt blood-money earmarked for a luxury condo development to be built where her community stands, and a journey that takes her from isolated individualism to a being a unifying force in a community that stands to lose everything. The film brings the audience into the world of Lagos’s waterfront settlements with an unprecedented realism – one in which the magical is woven into the mundane, and where the waterways and footpaths bustle in ancestral rhythms under the shadow of ever-encroaching urbanization.PT1H41M2025-04-09
