Thus far, the team has covered Crowther’s trail in South West Nigeria, releasing the trailer of the documentary series first part ‘Mission To Osoogun’ which focuses on their “experiences and encounters in Osoogun”.

Speaking with LEADERSHIP eTrain Awofeso disclosed that they are not done shooting the targeted six parts (45 minutes each) of the documentary, as there are more geographical areas to cover. Each part of the documentary will address a different theme/point in Crowther’s life.

To navigate the funding challenges of the project, Awofeso had set up a Crowdfunding account where financial aid from supporters both from within and outside the country, in addition to his personal funds flowed in to make this first episode a reality.

“Our aim with the ‘Mission To Osoogun’ is to show the public what we have done so far. We will also continuously update them via our social media. We have done Lagos, Ogun and Oyo states. We need to get to Kogi, Anambra and Yola, Bonny Island, Rivers State. Igbo land and Niger Delta, and a little into the north, in Yola. And if we can, we can get to Sierra Leone.

“The plan is to premiere ‘Mission To Osoogun’ in February, but we are still discussing with our consultant,” said Awofeso.
