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.
This is to preserve the legacies of Barrister through the medium of a film, to place Fuji at the centre of global knowledge production, and to increase the global attention on Fuji. It is also to take the name of Fuji and Barrister into academic domains where they don’t exist for now.
