Netflix releases latest Nigerian feature, “Jagun”

Netflix has released its latest Nigerian feature, titled Jagun Jagun (The Warrior).

Produced by Femi Adebayo Salami, who also plays the lead, the Yoruba epic tells the tale of a bloodthirsty warlord who feels threatened by a young warrior whose only desires are the basics of life; power and the love of a woman.

Directed by Adebayo Tijani and Tope Adebayo Salami, Jagun Jagun features Adedimeji Lateef, Bimbo Ademoye, Fathia Balogun, Mr Macaroni, and Bukunmi Oluwasina.

I take a lot of pride in all my @anthillstudios_ people but you see Tolu Obanro, I can bet my entire life savings on him!!! When it comes to film music, no one else comes close!! We have never hired anyone outside Nigeria for our work at the studio!! This is how we grow!!! https://t.co/bBJZrermbg
