Saul Williams’ Afro sci-fi flick Neptune Frost is making its rounds in national theatres. The anti-authoritarian story takes place in Burundi where a bunch of coltan miners turn into computer hacker rebels and challenge the forces exploiting the region. It’s actually a filmed musical designed to motivate the masses into some kind of political action. The polychromatic look of it and the poetic movements of the people on the screen hint at a future cult classic. The critically-acclaimed film is on show around the country right now and tickets are on sale now.
