Nollywood super star, Genevieve Nnaji held a special screening for her
movie, ‘Lion Heart’ at the Marrakech Film Festival in Morocco. ‘Lion Heart’ is
Nnaji’s directional debut and stars industry veterans including Nkem Owoh,
Onyeka Onwenu and Pete Edochie. Netflix had announced in September that it had
acquired the worldwide rights for ‘Lion Heart’ making it the platform’s first
African original film. This was followed by a world premiere at the 2018 Toronto
Film Festival (TIFF) where it immediately gathered positive reviews
internationally.
The record-breaking movie is a story of Adaeze, a young lady who steps up
to the challenge when her father, Ernest Obiagu, is forced to take a step back
from his company due to health issues. She works with her crude and eccentric
brother to save the family business in dire financial straits resulting in
crazy and often hilarious results.
