Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti

Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was a teacher, campaigner and leader of women's resistance in colonial Nigeria, organising market women against unjust taxes in Abeokuta and later becoming one of the country's best-known activists. She was also the mother of the musician Fela Kuti.

Bolanle Austen-Peters' biographical drama tells her story from the 1940s, with Kehinde Bankole in the title role. It's a celebration of a woman whose courage helped shape Nigeria's independence movement, and whose life is too little known outside the country.
