​Join us at ZOMA House for an animatic screening of ZOMA Studios' Mmanwu followed by a discussion with the film's Writer, Director, and Producer Uzoma Ngwu.

​Mmanwu is a 2D animated horror short set in modern day Nigeria. The film follows Ogechi, a Nigerian-American teenager, as she travels back to Nigeria for her grandfather's burial ceremony. However, her mourning is interrupted when she confronts an aspect of her culture she doesn’t understand; forcing her to contend with her identity as Nigerian and American.
