About the Film

“Neptune Frost”(NR, Rwanda/USA, 2021, 105 min.)

This sci-fi punk musical, produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, is set in the African country of Burundi, where an intersex runaway and a miner fall in love and form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. They find solidarity through a dynamic Afrofuturist vision exploring the states of past and present, male and female, and colonized and free. Watch trailer here.
