6AM Bulldozer – Live and Direct from Nigeria with Chicoco Radio

The Filmmaker and the Advocate are joined by extra special guests from Port Harcourt Nigeria – Chicoco Radio, made up of rappers and mappers, musicians, journalists, filmmakers and photographers. Together they discuss the harsh inequalities experienced in Africa's largest nation, particularly in the oil-producing Delta Coast – where erasure of communities and extremely violent forced evictions are a common part of life. The Chicoco guests draw parallels between their experiences of police brutality at the hands of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and recent protests and the Black Lives Matter movement. What makes Chicoco utterly special - as well as this episode of PUSHBACK Talks -  is their use of song in their resistance. They say -- in Chicoco we’ve all experienced forced evictions either first-hand or through someone we love. We’re singing for change … to push back the fear of demolitions, of bullets and of wounds. Here we go.  Turn this one up LOUD.More from  Chicoco Radio at https://chicoco.fm/Guests:Grace Timi Tammy UzodinmaIB JohnsonMichael UwemedimoMusicians:Miebaka Kienabere - lead voxFaithia Blaze - voxImanny Cleverstone - rapSlim D - rapYoung Crown - rapDenny Tunez - guitarBright Benjamin - cajonChicoco Radio Team:Tech:Osom ProductPromise SundayAna BonaldoCamera:Imanny CleverstoneTammy FingazIT:Kelex Maduewesi  Produced by WG Film Recorded & Edited by Mikey JonesMusic by Florencia Di ConcilioSocial Media & Support Team - Louise Gustafsson & Maja Moberg  Support the show
