Powerful Civilian

2007 · 75 min

A broad, boisterous Nollywood comedy where a humiliated underdog returns puffed up with fancy words, and the fun comes from watching him strut and settle scores.

Directed by
Andy Chukwu
Overview
An illiterate village boy, who has been taken advantage of, heads to the city to study law. He returns with grandiose vocabulary and a mission to belittle those who had previously made him feel demeaned.
How it feels
Satirical, light, absurd and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About
Revenge, class, identity, education
Content
Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
