  • 2025 Sundance Institute Cultural Impact Residency

Description

In 19th-century Nigeria, a man saved as a child by ancient gods now secretly profits from the slave trade of his people. As British colonial forces and Christianity expand, they threaten to eradicate the very deities who spared his life. Now the gods call on him to fight for them or die with them.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
