27 years ago, movie lovers were treated to a movie that was so captivating that it remained the talk of town months after it was released. The movie was so good that its release marked a defining moment in the Nigerian film making industry, and two decades later its sequel is about to be released. The movie is none other than Okechukwu’s Ogunjiofor’s Living in Bondage.
Living in Bondage was about a struggling Andy Okeke (played by Kenneth Okonkwo), who tired of his poverty, decided to join a cult that promised him a financial turnaround. The cult however required a human sacrifice, and Andy had no option than to sacrifice his wife. The consequences of this action formed the backdrop on which Living in Bondage played out.
27 years later, the movie’s sequel titled Living in Bondage: Breaking Free is about Nnamdi, Andy Okeke’s son, whose taste for a lavish lifestyle leads him on a journey similar to that of his father.
Living in Bondage: Breaking Free stars Kenneth Okonkwo, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Bob-Manuel Udokwu (all in the original cast for Living in Bondage). New additions to the cast include Ramsey Nouah, Enyinna Nwigwe, Nancy Isime, Munachi Abii, Kalu Ikeagwu, and a host of others.
The movie is produced by Steve Gukas, executive produced by
Charles Okpaleke , and directed by Ramsey Nouah, making this his debut directorial role.
