A Radical Duet
Experimental Narrative Short Doc | 28 min 9 secs | 2023 | HD
Log Line:
Picturing a revolutionary play written by two women activists in the anti-colonialist movement Post-war London.
Synopsis:
1947 London was a hub of radical anti-colonial activity. International intellectuals, artists, and activists like Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Sylvia Wynter, C.L.R James, Kwame Nkrumah and George Padmore were all in London at the eve of the end of British colonialism. Individually, they were agitating for their respective countries' national independence, but did they meet? And if they all did what did they discuss? What did they conjure? A Radical Duet is a short narrative film that imagines what happened when two women of different generations but both part of the post-war independence movement, came together in London to put their fervor and imagination to writing a revolutionary play.
