The Fisherman: Film, Storytelling & the Diaspora Experience

Event Recap | September 2026 | Quad Cinema, New York City

NCOGA YAY was invited to the first New York City screening of The Fisherman, directed by Zoey Martinson, at Quad Cinema.

Following the screening, NCOGA YAY joined a special conversation featuring Anna Agbotse of the Public Affairs Pillar, Michael Dwamena-Ansong of the Public Communications Pillar, who moderated the discussion, and Zoey Martinson, director of The Fisherman.

The conversation explored the making of the film, the stories and ideas behind it, and how its themes connect with broader diasporic experiences, identity, and community.
