Trouble Sleep

A film by Alain Kassanda

 Text Size  Increase Font Size   Decrease Font Size   divider Printable VersionPrintable Version

Kassanda’s freewheeling urban portrait follows two young men, Fred and Akin, as they navigate the crowded roadways of Ibadan, Nigeria’s third largest city. Engineering graduate Fred is beginning a new job as a taxi driver, while Akin patrols a busy intersection collecting tax for the National Transport Union. As they traverse the frenetic streets, the systems and networks that underlie the city begin to be exposed, revealing the order that lies beneath all the noise and apparent chaos. Punctuated by exuberant musical sequences, TROUBLE SLEEP is a dynamic, impressionistic city symphony that uncovers the unwritten rules governing the seeming chaos of Ibadan’s streets.
