Ebrohimie Road: A Museum of Memory is a documentary film suitable for educational screenings for both young and adult students/professionals of all cultures. The film touches on numerous universal themes, as well as issues and themes specific to the African continent, which makes it ideal audio-visual material for discussions as part of African Studies/Film Studies courses.

Main themes include:

• African literature and the place of Wole Soyinka in it.
• African leadership and politics post-colonial independence
• African writers and their role in political advocacy post-colonialism.
• Resistance, Independence and Identity: The role of African academic institutions such as the University of Ibadan as a space for creativity and freedom of expression in post-colonial Africa 
• Gender, feminism and culture in African society 
• Cultural heritage and history: the importance of the preservation of objects and spaces for future generations

The film deals with memory and trauma and how the literary writings and political advocacy  of Nigerian authors  such as Wole Soyinka often led to imprisonment and exile. The film also sparks important discussions about preservation of heritage showing  the tension between conservation and the preservation of spaces and objects versus deforestation, modernity and urbanization. The University of  Ìbàdàn provides the central backdrop as the space of creativity, gathering and social and political influence in Nigeria then and now. Much of the events from the film take place within the campus of the University.
