This tongue-in-cheek, Scandinavian-Nigerian-American co-production follows the interrogation of a white oil executive in a hideout somewhere in Nigeria. This action-art video borrows from all three cinematic cultures, as well as from the aesthetics of fundamentalist propaganda videos.

DR. CRUEL follows the manic, Scandinavian terrorist Dr. Cruel (Jakob Boeskov) and his group of followers-who call themselves the Afro-Icelandic Liberation Front (Osita Iheme and Uche Iwuanyanwu)-as they interrogate a white oil executive in a hideout somewhere in Nigeria.

Dirs. Teco BENSON and Jakob BOESKOV
