Summary: "In this documentary, Queer gender-non-conforming Nigerian media artist Seyi Adebanjo tells a tale not often heard about gender and indigenous Yorùbá spirituality. Ọya follows Seyi's journedy to Nigeria, a journey to connect with ̓Orìṣà tradition, or African God/dess tradition, and the powerful legacy of the filmmaker's great grandmother, Chief Moloran Ìyá Ọḷóya. ... illuminates the lives of ̓Orìṣà Ọya (Warrior Goddess), Chief Moloran Ìyá Ọḷóya and Seyi Adebanjo while interweaving Yorùbá mythology, poetry, performance, and expert interviews"--Container.
