It attains its power by rooting Hafsat's struggle against a crosshair of different forces, taking the time to attentively and vividly express their source. Using archive footage she tells the story of Nigeria's military political history.

Rated: 4/5

The Supreme Price is a near perfect documentary. Meaty in its matter, deftly weaving together a number of complex issues that are distilled into perfectly digestible bites, this documentary is necessary viewing.
