The Film Blog: Hakkunde is premiering this weekend. Let’s tell you why we are excited.

The trailer is world class. There is Frank Donga (Kunle Idowu). It is produced by the brilliant AMVCA-winning Oluseyi Asurf, and the impressive Judith Audu, who is production manager, and produced Just Not Married. It’s the first crowd sourced Nigerian film we know. We are truly proud of what young people are doing. https://youtu.be/rfNYveTzveU
