Before now, folktales of great men who have been adorn and sometimes criticised impacts, as the case maybe, have been told. These are likes of :Bashorun Gaa, Efunsetan Aniwura, Agbongboakala and many other historical movies.
For several reasons, the award winning Filmmaker have decided to tell the story of a great man from a small village in the South West Region of Nigeria. This explains why the whole cast and crew are particularly excited about this project.
In his words the young Filmmaker feels overtime, we need to realised the needs and importance to tell our own history and to protect the already told stories. The understanding of our history and heritage will in turn give us better understanding of the world` s history.
As mentioned, these great men and women are legends in the Yoruba Kingdom who have made remarkable chronicles. Some are recognised and celebrated, some are not. This is why it has become extremely imperative to tell our audience the (one) they’ve not heard about but are of possible existence
A whole lot of deep, cautioned and well considered researches have gone into this project, the movie Agbekoya.
Thorough research was conducted and information were garned directly from the relevant thought. All source put together as expected. Agbekoya the movie storyline has a remarkably pen out in ‘ Third Person Omniscient ‘ , meaning we have vast and convincing knowledge of what we are giving out to the World. The story research was out together with details.
The movie Agbekoya is plotted to tell the story of a powerful and influential man who was known for his undisputed powers, honesty, diplomacy and inestimable act of kindness in his community, but quite unfortunate with his first Daughter who was a pain in his life. He was loved and respected by all and sundry. He condemned crookedness, criminality and would never be a party to that which might bring any harm to his people.
Agbekoya will educate us all about his life, his immediate family, his relationship with his friends and the community where he lived, his weakness and the cause of his eventual tragedy.
