October 1
Directed by: Kunle Afolayan
Starring: Sadiq Daba, Kehinde Bankole, David Bailie, Kayode Olaiya, Nick Rhys, Fabian Lojede, and Demola Adedoyin

“Combining a real-life historical timeline with a suspenseful, cat-and-mouse game, October 1 tells the story of a Nigerian police detective as he sets out to unravel the mystery behind a series of murders in a local community before the British flag is lowered and the Nigerian flag raised. The film had a whopping $2 million budget, an amount and production value that was essentially unheard of in Nollywood cinema.” —AK
