“A mesmerizing Afropunk odyssey hacking at the boundaries of gender, technology, and class.” (Toussaint Egan, Polygon). Dance-music-driven, dispensing striking colorful imagery, pulsing rapper rhythms and messages against the international system, the film takes place in the hilltops of Rwanda where a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their otherworldly e-waste camp, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region's natural resources and its people. Set between states of being – past and present, dream and memory of Rwanda’s past tragedies, Neptune Frost is an invigorating, visually stunning and empowering call to reclaim technology for progressive political ends: a poetic film that dreams to “spark the brain that will change the world.” (Saul Williams, Kino)
