The documentary is one of the 16 projects selected from 65 countries in five continents ahead of the Geneva International Film Festival later this year.
According to Akoroko‘s report, “the programme is designed to support and enhance the development/distribution of in-progress documentary projects with a strong social or environmental message.”
Directed by Ifubaraboye, Pulo highlights the Kirike people of Okrika Island in Rivers State and their encounter with pollution due to oil extraction since the 1950s. It sheds light on how pollution infringes on the human rights, heritage, and spiritual bonds of the people.
