![]() ![]() The worst for me was the Nigerian aspects. Significant information was vague or left out, and the action jumped around between several extra characters, so I sometimes had trouble following what was happening and who was who. What bothered me, and the main reason I settled on a median rating, was how the story was told. I remained engaged to the end, I've seen it twice so far and I'll probably watch it again sometime. Overall, I thought this was a good film that showed her potential. I liked the effort she made enough that I've looked into what else she's done, and could see her skill improving with each work (I'm probably too culturally naïve to get everything in it, but I enjoyed "The Venician"). However, this wasn't guerilla filmmaking, Adaora Nwandu seemed intent on making the best film she could and it came across to me as very much a passion project. The acting, direction, script, and music were uneven, and the pacing felt rather quick to me I glanced at the clock about halfway through and was surprised at how much had happened by that point.

I have learnt many things through the films presented at the Arts Festival and it would be a shame if the narrow minded views of a few stifled lifelong learning. It is a place for artists to exhibit their craft and enlighten to public through their art. I think that the Arts Festival is exactly the place to exhibit such works. I was surprised at the reaction of some of the viewers of the film and their objection to the subject matter. I thought it was a bold, daring, provocative film. ![]() W Sharpe Director of New Media, Public Broadcasting Atlanta 30th July 2007 "I recently saw the film Rag Tag during the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta. ![]()
