Join us at Nottingham Central Library for a screening of Hope Is a Word, a documentary about poet and activist Nnimmo Bassey and the power of poetry as a tool for environmental resistance in Nigeria's Niger Delta! 
This screening is part of the Green Libraries Week programme, celebrating the role libraries play in environmental awareness and community action.

Oil extraction has ravaged the Niger Delta for decades, bringing violence and division. Poet and activist Nnimmo Bassey refuses to lose hope, and invites a group of young people to write with him. In that safe space, they begin to tell their own stories through poetry, finding a way to heal and a weapon for change.
