Nollywood actors, Ramsey Noah, Rita Dominic and
Chidi Mokeme have endeared more fans to their hearts
with the latest movie, 76 , which the actors featured in.
The movie, produced by Africa Magic, in partnership
with Adonis Productions and Princewill’s Trust, is a
tale of love, trust, faith and family set against the
backdrop of war and nation building.
Set six years after the Nigerian civil war, 76 tells the
story of a young officer from the Middle Belt who gets
entangled in a romantic relationship and eventually
marries a beautiful student from the South-Eastern
part of Nigeria. Their budding romance is threatened
by endless military postings, and they face the
ultimate test when news of the soldier’s involvement
in a botched coup attempt hits the headlines.
Talking about the movie, the Director, M-Net West
Africa, Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, said, “ 76 is an
adventurous foray into filmmaking in Nigeria. It’s an
exciting, compelling storyline that many Nigerians and
indeed Africans will relate with. The directing and
production quality are top notch, and the themes
celebrate values including courage, loyalty, patience,
trust and sacrifice. 76 takes filmmaking up another
level in Nigeria and we at Africa Magic are indeed
excited to partner with Adonis Productions and
Princewill’s trust in bringing this movie to viewers
across Africa.”
According to the movie director, Izu Ojukwu, 76 is
inspired by events which led up to and followed the
botched 1976 coup d’etat, and features real life,
archived, actual footage that contributes to the
movie’s overall authenticity.
He also said the execution of the movie was also done
with approval and support from the Nigerian Army.
