After a successful premiere in Ghana, Joseph, the highly acclaimed trans-Atlantic story of one man’s quest to break social and cultural constraints to find his true identity is set to premiere in Lagos this January.
The movie was selected for screening at the Pan African Film Festival, the largest Black film festival in the USA is set to top the pack of most successful African movies of 2020.
The story is centered around the life of a young and successful medical doctor in the Caribbean whose drive to discover his roots takes him on a journey to parts unknown and will premiere in Lagos on January 22nd at FilmHouse Cinemas, Landmark Village, and be released in cinemas across the country from Friday, January 24th.
Defiant and rebellious, Joseph dismisses the warnings and threats of his affluent family of cross-generational medical doctors to seek a reconnection to his roots and his purpose.
Joseph surveys the central character’s journey to his land of origin, regaling viewers with tales of love, acceptance and freedom; upending universal misconceptions about his people; himself awed by the many things that have remained unchanged between his two peoples in spite of generations of separation across continents.
The movie premiered in Ghana to rave review, as Nollywood sensations, Mawuli Gavor and Sika Osei, and lead actor, Kevoy Burton, headlined and wowed.
Also featured in the movie are singer/songwriter Shontelle (T-Shirt and Impossible) and Queen of Soca, Alison Hinds (Roll it Gal), and several international actors.
