Lisabi: The Uprising tells the story of the Egba people in the 1800s, who endured oppression from the Alaafin of Oyo and his warriors. The film’s protagonist, Lisabi, an Egba farmer, emerges as a leader, uniting fellow farmers to resist the tyranny of the Ilari Oyo, who had become a relentless threat to their existence.
