Together, they become involved in international money laundering to reunite Orah with her son in Canada.

Having made the transition from Nigeria to Canada in 2001, Oladejo pursued her studies in Theatre Arts in Toronto. Her portrayal in “Star Trek: Discovery” garnered her recognition and applause, setting her on an upward trajectory in her acting career.

Behind the scenes, “Orah” emerged as a collaborative effort between Lonzo Nzekwe, Floyd Kane, and Amos Adetuyi, pooling their talents to both write and produce the film.
