How Genevieve Nnaji's Lionheart Marks A Major Milestone
Lionheart is the first Nigerian movie to be acquired by Netflix, which has made it possible for it to be viewed by a worldwide audience. Netflix acquired the movie on 7th September 2018 at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in Canada.
Before we show you guys the reviews, let us talk about what we learnt watching the movie on Netflix.
The movie which had an all Nigerian cast, was shot in Enugu, Enugu State in Nigeria, Africa. It featured Genevieve Nnaji, Pete Edochie, Onyeka Onwenu, Jemima Osunde, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Nkem Owoh, Kalu Ikeagwu, Ngozi Ezeonu, Peter Okoye, Chibuzor Azubuike (Phyno), Sani Muazu, and Yakubu Mohammed.
In the movie, the family business was on the brink of bankruptcy, while the chairman (Pete Edochie) of the organization was having health issues at the same time. The company was entrusted into the hands of the chairman's brother (Nkem Owoh) which made the daughter (Genevieve Nnaji) of the chairman unhappy. The lesson the chairman was teaching his daughter was that life does not always go as planned.
The son (Phyno) of the chairman decided to focus on his music career which made the father worried. The mother encouraged her son in his music career however.
The movie reeled out family values, celebrating the girl child and African proverbs were used a lot. Nigerian vehicle brand Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) was well represented in the movie.
To cut the long story short, you will be advised to go and watch the movie on Netflix 😂 for you to enjoy it and support the Nigerian movie industry.
