It’s said they possess supernatural powers, some believe they are
part-hyena – in truth, no one really knows.
Set in the thick of the
urban chaos of Nigeria, this startling and controversial film explores
the wild world of “The Hyena Men” – a street-gang who use a bizarre
blend of voodoo and dangerous animals to make a living.
The documentary
gets beneath the surface of this unique street circus and reveals a way
of life steeped in secret ritual, black magic and ancient African
tradition. The film examines the clash between the urban and the wild
and uncovers the paradoxical relationship that the Hyena Men have with
their menagerie of animals; sometimes doting and affectionate, sometimes
brutal and cruel.
