In the hilltops of Burundi a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region's natural resources - and its people. When an inter-sex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry.

I gave this a watch last night. Very much recommend it. If you're down with Saul Williams you'll definitely dig it. It's like an afro-cyberpunk-mythos spoken word performance. Lots of wordplay and metaphor. The first half took a bit of focus as there's a lot to catch up on as it establishes itself, but the later half of the movie really takes off. It's a welcome respite from all the capeshit and franchise films.
