The movie tells the tale of a Canadian taxi driver who is on a mission of revenge against a Nigerian drug trafficking organization that killed her kid.
Orah, written and directed by Nzekwe, took 11 years to complete and was intended to be a revenge thriller following his brother’s death in 2016 from a stray bullet wound sustained by an officer of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
According to Nzekwe, his goal was to write a terribly compelling crime thriller that offers the viewer a genuine look into the life of the lead character and her vendetta.
On November 5, at AFRIFF’s inaugural gala night, he will present his work in front of invited visitors. Chioma Ude, the festival’s creator and director, has pledged to support indigenous projects.
She mentioned that the choice of Orah as the opening film on Thursday, October 26 is deliberate in light of the festival’s objectives.
