Over the weekend, the Cameroon Film industry was once again all out in Akwa- Douala to premier one of the most talked about movies to step out this year, “U-Turn”. It’s a film which delves into the political crises of the country and questions the position of the youths on the promotion and practice of democracy. There arose a young leader – Enow - who comes up from Germany to change the game in his home country amidst wolves and he is not given the mandate to preach on what is right or wrong except he’s been elected. Things fell apart; his life endangered, his kid kidnapped and his wife threatens to leave and his dreams start to crumble. Should the hero continue to preach on this far-fetched topic or bow out before his family is completely wiped out by those at the top?
The thought-provoking action flick, U-Turn stars a clutch of Cameroon’s finest stars including; Jeffery Epule, Nchifor Valery, Otia Vitalis, Quinta Eyoh, Ayuk Tambi and others. Amongst the crew members are renowned filmmakers such as Peter Njodzeka aka Penjo, Tanwie Elvis, Stanley Miki and Mandi Priscilia. The movie is set to go global.
U-Turn is produced by Achu Egbe and directed by Kamwa Anthony. The film was shot in Cameroon.
Here are some pictures from the premier at Akwa – Douala. Enjoy!
