A brilliant film!! Saw at its premiere at DocFest and it was joyful, hopefully, angering, and insightful. I learned so much about the oil extraction on the Niger Delta and the people who continue to fight for justice from Shell and th Nigerian state. The showcasing of poetry in this film was also wonderful - if anyone is looking for a reason to believe that arts and culture can make real political change, watch this film.
1st ever DocFest Sheffield screening for me & was on my best behaviour watching the film alongside the director. At Q&A asked about the captions on the screen for all the poetry = interestingly the idea behind the colour of the font is that it resembles oil – that blue hue that is visible in many shots of oil spills in the Nigerian waters. It’s a great doc: unpretentious & easy in setting the world’s problem and even giving an action to its real life characters as well as the viewer.The poetry & rap are really good quality as well.
Het volgt een dichter en activist die opkomende schrijvers in de Nigerdelta van Nigeria begeleidt, terwijl ze kunst gebruiken om decennialange vervuiling door oliewinning te bestrijden.
Hope is a Word werd in 2026 geregisseerd door Maria Galliani Dyrvik.
