Idemudia is a young and highly principled man living in Nigeria in the 1970s. Brilliant at school, he had to drop out on account of the inability to pay school fees. He migrated to the city in search of jobs but all he could get were menial jobs, which at any rate never lasted long due to the exploitative nature of the employers.
He is married to the beautiful and comely Adisa. Unable to find a job Idemudia sometimes resorts to selling pints of his blood to feed his family. At a point he falls sick. He is taken to the hospital but there is no money to pay the bills. Idemudia cannot be discharged from the hospital. The unjustness of the society is revealed in a play put together by patients to mark the Nightingale day. The play is called “Violence”.
That the Niger Delta region of Nigeria is gradually degenerating to sets and stages of violence, blackmail and terrorism is not a lie – this truth is unveiled in this documentary film title The Open Wound.
The Open Wound centers on the struggle of the people within the Niger Delta region of Nigeria for equity and justice. Prominent in the struggle are the restive youths of the region who believe that they have the right to the
Oil and Gas resources within their land. From what they consider as ineffectual peaceful rallies and protests, their agitation has now degenerated to violent militancy
The Crux of the matter is a documentary film that brings out in bold relief the wretched world of the Niger Delta people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The film captures the challenges of the region and its people with their argument that the oppressive Oil and Gas exploration and exploitation practices of the Multi – National Oil Companies coupled with unjust legal and political framework of the National government, have virtually wiped out the self sustaining tradition occupations of the people and denied them control over their environment. Rivers and land in the region can no longer sustain the people.
