Nigerian filmmaker Charles Okpaleke has announced an upcoming movie titled “Ekwumekwu.”

The movie according to the filmmaker will be based on a story of the “British opposition by the Igbos.” The upcoming project will be developed in collaboration with his theatrical production company, Play Network Studios.

Commenting on the announcement of the story written by Max Siollun, Charles said, “I took a personal interest in this story because of the role the Aro people played with the people of Anioma to protect the Igbo land.

I am from Arondizogu, the largest settlement of the Aro people (believed to have migrated from Arochukwu), and ever since we started making feature films our focus has been centered around retelling our African history.”

The show boasts an impressive cast, including Buntu Petse, Lunga Shabalala, Baby Cele, Prev Reddy, Mpho Sebeng, Micaela Tucker, Mandisa Nduna, Camilla Waldman, Nicole Bessick, Ebenhaezer Dibakwane, Sechaba Ramphele, Luyanda Zwane, and Mamarumo Marokane.

The plot revolves around Mbali Hadebe, portrayed by Buntu Petse, who grapples with the consequences of her mother’s corrupt political dealings when the police raid their home and confiscate their possessions.

Filled with shame and desiring a fresh start, Mbali enrols at Grahamstown University in Makhanda, embarking on a journey to rebuild her life and distance herself from her mother’s tarnished reputation. She takes an unconventional approach to reinventing herself, such as driving the campus taxi, co-hosting a gossip show called “The Spill” with Raeesah (Nicole Bessick), and even running for the Student Representative Council.

Along the way, she gains motivation and support from her unconventional group of friends – Jay (Prev Reddy) and Natalie (Micaela Tucker). Meanwhile, her SRC campaign is inspired by Sivu Levine (Lunga Shabalala), a local heartthrob, rowing champion, and aspiring actor entangled in dramatic situations. Sivu faces stiff competition from the seasoned President Caesar (Mpho Sebeng), a longtime campus activist, and the conspiracy theorist Mubarak (Ebenhaezer Dibakwane).
