The Legend of the Vagabond Queen of Lagos

Nicaragua Deutschland Südafrika USA 2024 Spielfilm

"The Legend of the Vagabond Queen Of Lagos" is a social impact film that 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. A journey that takes her from isolated individualism to becoming a unifying force in a community that stands to lose everything.
