“African stories are no longer confined to a niche audience; they are reaching global markets, and this film is an example of that. It embodies the high production values we’ve worked tirelessly to grow and this is a landmark moment, not only for the ‘77 film, but for the race as a whole; showing the world that African cinema is a powerhouse of creativity.”

 

Also speaking, another executive producer of the movie, Adonijah Owiriwa said: “This film is a reclamation of Africa’s rich history. The project was about revisiting a defining moment in African unity and cultural assertion, bringing to life a tale of the ambitions, conflicts, and triumphs that shaped our storytelling.

 

“Through cinema, we are not only preserving our past but ensuring that the world engages with our stories on our terms. The Cannes showcase is a pivotal step in shifting the global perception of African cinema, proving that our stories are as grand, complex, and worthy of global platforms as any other.”
