Join The Root, Tides and Women Make Movies to preview excerpts from The Supreme Price, a new documentary by Joanna Lipper that follows democratic advocate Hafsat Abiola during the eventful 2011 elections in Nigeria. Abiola leads Nigeria’s 2011 pro-democracy movement in the shadows of her father’s unsolved death and the assassination of her mother. The Supreme Price serves as a real-life testament to the effectiveness of determination and perseverance.
