Play Network Studios has a new movie in the works called Ekwumekwu.
Written by Max Siollun, the project explores the series of resistance uprisings against the Royal Niger Company of the British Empire by the Igbos.
Announcing the exciting news online, Charles Opaleke, the CEO, said, "I took personal interest in this story because of the role the Aro people played with the people of Anioma to protect the Igbo land. I am from Arondizogu, the largest settlement of the Aro people (believed to have migrated from Arochukwu) and ever since we started making feature films our focus has been centered around retelling our African history."
