The film, which will be released on Netflix on November 4th, is an adaptation of Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka's acclaimed stage play, 'Death and the King's Horseman.'
The screenplay, directed by Biyi Bandele of 'Half of a Yellow Sun' and 'Fifty,' will be the first ever Yoruba Language film to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Special Presentation category this September, before being mainstreamed as a first in its genre on Netflix.
The film is a riveting classic based on true events in Nigeria's colonial era when the horseman (Eleshin Oba) of a Yoruba King in the Oyo Kingdom was prevented by colonial authorities from committing ritual suicide.
Omowunmi co-stars with a variety of A-listers. Odunlade Adekola, Shaffy Bello, Jide Kosoko, Deyemi Okolanwon, Brymo Olawale, Mark Elderkin, Jenny Stead, Langley Kirkwood, and others are among those involved.
