If each city is like a game of chess, the day when I have learned the rules, I shall finally possess my empire, even if I shall never succeed in knowing all the cities it contains. —Italo Calvino, Invisible CitiesCan you describe the mood of El Paso as you feel/see it? First, what is visible: the lavish expanse of light. Light on the stone benches. Light on the slopes of the mountains surrounding the city.

The film is a love story of Nigeria where justice emerged as a theme of conflict between the rulers and the ruled. It is a love story, distraught, disappointing, tragic, painful, like most love stories can be, but it is what drives the protagonist.

Photo Courtesy Nathalie Handal Awam Amkpa is as eclectic as the highlife music of 1960s Nigeria—a fusion of African rhythms played with Western instruments. It is in this spirit of merging that he directed The Man Died, inspired by Wole Soyinka’s prison memoir. The Man Died connects Soyinka’s heartbeat to Nigeria’s. The past to the present. The film’s intuitive quality makes us ponder on what a country means to a man.
