About
The Naked Option, a one-hour documentary, tells the remarkable and unknown story of women in the Niger Delta, from the bush and from the cities, risking their lives to fight for social, political and economic change – using everything from serious cultural taboos to authoring Constitutional Amendments. Told through their voices, with the final narration by the renowned journalist Charlayne Hunter Gault, The Naked Option follows Emem J. Okon, a courageous grass-roots leader, as she travels to rural communities where women are prepared to use a weapon of last resort, the threat of women stripping naked in public, giving women unprecedented power over both government and oil through landmark moments in Nigerian history.
