The documentary is about the history of women in Fuji, the history of the genre, how it began, its politics and economy, why women are subdued in the genre and how they fought and overcame the challenges confronting them. We demonstrate the transformation not only in the type of Fuji women are performing but also the challenges they have faced and overcome.

Fuji is more than sound. It’s a way of life for millions of Yoruba people. It’s how they see the world around them.

Documentaries can be used to correct mistakes of the past and fight stereotypes and bias. Once people know their history, there is a possibility that such knowledge will empower them to do something meaningful with themselves.
