“The Naked Option: a last resort,” is a feature documentary highlighting the struggle by women of the Niger Delta against the multinational oil companies and military occupation by the Nigerian Federal Government.
The film is still in production but based on the preview and from comments by activists in the ND it should be a powerful film depicting the fightback from the gender commons of the Niger Delta.

We should resist all forces of Oppression with all options available to us.Passive resistance should be Uppermost on our minds.
A unified approach would do so us good. As it has always been the tactics of the oppressor to divide us.

Thank you for posting this, Sokari. I’m going to publicize this, as well. Even the preview is incredibly powerful. This is an important film on a number of levels.
