The Lion Has Seven Heads
Drama
A white-robed preacher wanders and sermonizes across African lands; European communists and CIA spies conspire out of mutual self-interest to engineer the appointment of an African bourgeois to a puppet government presidency; and a revolutionary group marches in exile.
VIBE
A heady, politically charged atmosphere permeates this film. It’s a dense, intellectual exercise exploring the machinations of power and ideology in a post-colonial landscape, delivered with an unsettling, almost dreamlike intensity.
