Quote:
"Also airing this weekend Take Light [...] takes us to Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer. Only about half the population has electricity, mind you. The doc, splendidly made by Shasha Nakhai and full of arid humour, is about how people cope and what they try to do, dealing with a privatized power company. We meet Martins, a polite and religious family man who is obliged to cut off service to non-paying customers, and Godwin, who freelances as an electrician reconnecting the people who are cut off. It's about the staggering level of corruption and ingenuity of people who are trying to find a better way."
