Benson is tasked with the duty of depicting the lives and times of late Macaulay in the full feature. Scenes from the trailer show Benson interpreting Sir Herbert Macaulay’s gestures and voice while addressing a crowd ahead of a protest, enjoying his famous tobacco wood pipe during a closed-door conversation as well as his uniquely styled mustache.
Umoren also features Kelechi Udegbe, Martha Ehinome Orhiere, Tubosun Ayedun, Sunday Afolabi, Mary Kowo, Phillip Jarman, Stanley Matthews, Obiora Maduegbuna, and Lolo Eremie.
Written by Bisi Jamgbadi, Wale Macaulay sits as the associate producer of the film.
