Unburied

Directed by Ayo Lawson

A haunting Nigerian drama about Alex, a non-binary person from a conservative Yoruba family and strict Pentecostal community. Rejected by family, condemned by religion, and hunted by societal transphobia, Alex journeys through a dark, metaphorical forest haunted by a masquerade symbolizing fear and erasure. Blending suspense and the supernatural, the film powerfully explores identity, resilience, and the struggle to live authentically, while advocating for acceptance and the right to selfhood.
