Arugba

Film info: Set against the backdrop of Yoruba culture, in an imaginary small town in Nigeria, Arugba delves into the life of Adetutu, a beautiful young priestess who has been selected by the oracle Ifa to carry the sacred calabash at the annual Osun Osogbo festival. The calabash can only be carried by a virgin, and after being abducted by three men, Adetutu’s chastity is doubted and her suitability as the chosen one questioned. Arugba also explores, through symbiotic stories, issues of governance, political corruption, HIV/AIDS and the influence of modern over conventional living.
