Radio Sunrise by Anietie Isong

Radio Sunrise by Anietie Isong

When Ifiok travels to his hometown to do a documentary on some ex-militants' apparent redemption, a tragi-comic series of events will make him realise he is unable to swim against the tide of corruption in this satirical portrait of (post) post-colonial Nigeria.
