- Owu: Chidi Joins the Okoroshi Secret Society
Owu: Chidi Joins the Okoroshi Secret Society is a fabulous journey that takes us through ceremonies and rituals of initiation into the secret and select society of the Igbo people of Nigeria... This film says it all. It accurately underscores the need for growth, the need for societal influence, traditions and practices... highly recommended for various disciplines in the Liberal Arts: Anthropology, Ethnic/African Studies, Art History, African Literature, Religious Studies, Women's Studies, African History and Civilization. (Owu) is a rare treasure in the annals of ethnographic documentation." -- Michael C. Mbabuike, Visual Anthropology, Vol. 13.
