Supreme Price, 6 March

6 March, 19:00, in Luxembourg

Runtime: 75′

The United Nations in partnership with the Luxembourg City Film Festival invites you to a screening of Joanna Lipper’s award winning film.

The Supreme Price provides a unprecedented look inside Africa’s most populous nation from the perspective of women, exposing a deep history of political corruption and a culture where a tiny circle of political elites monopolize billions of dollars worth of oil revenue while the vast majority of 165 million Nigerian people remain impoverished.
