SYNOPSIS
From the Africa Movie Academy Award winning producers of “No Shade” – and directed by Emmy-nominated BBC journalist Gbolahan Peter Macjob (“Black Axe”) comes “Ireke: Rise of The Maroons”.
Betrayed by his uncle and sold into slavery, a young West African prince finds himself on a brutal Jamaican plantation, where a forbidden love and a looming rebellion draw him into an alliance with escaped slaves – the Maroons – forcing him to rise as the leader of a revolution that could shake the colonial world.
Stolen from a kingdom. Forged in chains. Destined to rise.
Written and directed by Emmy-nominated BBC journalist Gbolahan (pronounced Bor-la-han) Peter Macjob, “Ireke” stars Tobi Bakre (“Red Circle”, “Brotherhood”, “Gangs of Lagos”) as Prince Atanda, joined by Atlanta Bridget Johnson (as Adunni), Demetri Turin (as Master Gerard), Alex Franklyn (as Lady Catherine), Kolawole Ajeyemi (as Adedeji), Antar Laniyan (as King of Ile Wura), Westy Baba (as Johnson), Genevieve Edwin (as Toro), Mofe Duncan (as Chef Okiki), Femi Branch (as Otunba Abass), Bolanle Ninalowo (as Warrior Slave) and Faithia Williams Balogun (as the Maroon Priestess).
