The Legend of the Vagabond Queen of Lagos is a social impact film that is part thriller and part African magical realism, written and directed by a collective of young storytellers from informal settlements across Lagos, and film professionals who lived in Lagos for the years of the film’s story development and production. It tells the story of a young widow raising her son in a waterside informal settlement of Lagos that comes under threat due to a corruption-fueled real estate project. It is a story of individual resilience and community resistance that speaks to the struggles of urban poor around the globe.
