Nollywood actors, Ramsey Noah, Rita Dominic and Chidi Mokeme have endeared more fans to their hearts with the latest movie, 76, which the actors featured in.
The movie, produced by Africa Magic, in
partnership with Adonis Productions and Princewill’s Trust, is a tale of
love, trust, faith and
family set against the backdrop of war and
nation building.
Set six years after the Nigerian civil war, 76
tells the story of a young officer from the Middle Belt who gets
entangled in a romantic relationship and eventually marries a beautiful
student from the South-Eastern part of Nigeria. Their budding romance is
threatened by endless military postings, and they face the ultimate
test when news of the soldier’s involvement in a botched coup attempt
hits the headlines.
Talking about the movie, the Director, M-Net West Africa, Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, said, “76
is an adventurous foray into filmmaking in Nigeria. It’s an exciting,
compelling storyline that many Nigerians and indeed Africans will relate
with. The directing and production quality are top notch, and the
themes celebrate values including courage, loyalty, patience, trust and
sacrifice. 76 takes filmmaking up another level in Nigeria and we at Africa Magic are indeed excited to partner with Adonis Productions and Princewill’s trust in bringing this movie to viewers across Africa.”
According to the movie director, Izu Ojukwu, 76 is
inspired by events which led up to and followed the botched 1976 coup
d’etat, and features real life, archived, actual footage that
contributes to the movie’s overall authenticity.
He also said the execution of the movie was also done with approval and support from the Nigerian Army.
