In commemoration of the one-year remembrance of the #EndSARS protest, Nigerian filmmaker Samuel Adeoye has released the trailer of his new movie titled, ‘Abdul’.
Gatekeepers News reports that the trailer with English, Yoruba, and German as the languages of expression, was released on Wednesday, October 20, 2021.
Speaking on the achievement, Adeoye noted that the imperative of the movie is for Nigerians to tell their stories to the world, most especially one shrouded in secrecy.
“It’s imperative that we tell our own stories to the world. The #EndSARS protest of October 20, 2020, is one that has become historical and will forever linger on in the minds of individuals, who were affected and several Nigerians in and outside Nigeria. This is one of the reasons we had to tell the story through film,” Adeoye said.
The filmmaker further noted that the movie will premiere at the upcoming 2021 African International Film Festival, AFRIFF.
‘Abdul’ features Abdul Saliou, Franziska Maria, Linda Bockmeyer, and Jimoh Adesola Saidat amongst others.
