Our Story
We Africans, have not recovered from the devastating effects of slave trade and colonialism even to this present day, which was part of European cruelest legacy on the African continent contributing to our confused sense of identity.
I Know that this film carries an important message that will be shared by all people to respect human dignity.
The whole film turned out to be so beautiful and the most beautiful thing about it is the pictures of the African people and their landscape.
The completion of the slavery Trilogy, Django Unchained from the Americas, 12 years of slave from The great Britain
and Obidike From Africa, where the slave trade started from.
About Our Film Project
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Sold to slavery by his uncle Amadi after confronting him over the mysterious death of his father Dike. In fulfillment of his divine destiny, Obidike returns from the slave camp with the stolen sacred mask to become the village Chief Priest among Umuaka village kinsmen.
A tale between dazzling glamour and archaic rituals, full of vitality, emotional depth and enormous compassion... and at the same time a gripping plea against the terrible and inhuman tradition of slavery.
