Mrs. F

A hard-charging theater director and activist attempts to bring her successful play on women’s empowerment into one of the toughest, most male-dominated spheres—Nigeria’s largest “floating slum,” Makoko. Ifeoma Fafunwa, “Mrs. F.,” hopes to team some of Nollywood’s most popular actresses with the women of Makoko for her project, but first she must navigate all the men in the way, from the local kingpin to the elderly preachers, on down to the beefy “area boys” and even her doubtful Uber driver. Mrs. F underlines just how much it takes to make a difference, and to empower someone enough to finally say, “I have courage.”
