Written by Xavier Ighorodje and Donald Tombia, 'Shanty Town' follows a group of courtesans attempting to escape the grasp of a notorious kingpin. Political corruption and blood ties make their escape an almost impossible goal.
The Chinenye Nworah produced film features a number of film industry heavyweights including Chidi Mokeme as the lead, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Sola Sobowale, Shaffy Bello, Ini Edo, Uche Jombo, Nse Ikpe-Etim and Toyin Abraham.
Award-winning cinematographer John Demps is attached to the project, which wrapped principal photography last year.
'Shanty Town' will premiere on Netflix on January 20, 2023.
