Tropical Gem Studios announced today that they will release Teco Benson’s BLOOD IN THE LAGOON on screens nationwide this year. The film has already been named one of the films to watch out for in 2014 by Nollywood Reinvented.
Set against the backdrop of dichotomies surrounding the Lagos lifestyle, the film centers around George Dibiya (Okey Uzoeshi), born into abject poverty and thrust deep into to the drudgery fate has dealt him, George ekes out a living in the treacherous murky waters of the waste deluged Lagos Lagoon. Just like thousands in the many slums of Nigeria, his life story is already written and sealed by fate, even before he came into the world. And this is not of his making. The chances of getting any education and, maybe clawing his way out of the situation is zero to unlikely, at best.
But after the murder of his brother, George sets out to, not allow his brothers dream die. Along the way, he gets entangled with the stunningly beautiful Scarlet (Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde). “Blood in the Lagoon” is an emotionally charged and thought provoking movie that will keep you glued to your seat till the very end.
The movie stars Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde in her first movie release since being named one of Times Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People In The World, alongside African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) nominee Okey Uzoeshi, Ufuoma Ejenobor, Akin Lewis, Eddie Ugboma, and other notable actors.
