GONE : Trending Movie on Netflix

For a Nollywood movie to trend three days consecutively on Netflix UK, it means a whole lot. And one shouldn’t expect less when you have a combination of Seasoned actor Sam Dede (In My Country) and Gabriel Afolayan (Coming from Insanity, Golden Statue). Both actors lived up to expectations in the drama movie titled GONE.

Aside from the brilliant acting, others include Stella Damasus, Bimbo Ademoye, and Bimbo Manuel as Captain Samson, what stands out with this feature-length drama directed by Daniel Ademinokan is the storyline and its screenplay; Uniquely captivating with appropriate suspense

It tells the story of Animashaun (Dede) an aspiring boxer who leaves his wife, Ngozi (Damasus) two-year-old daughter and an unborn son in search of a better life in the US. In a bid to secure a residency, he gets entangled with a white woman and was falsely accused him of rape and assault. He was wrongly imprisoned for 25 years and thus cut ties with his young family. 

 He returns to Nigeria after serving to reclaim his family. But obviously never expected it to be an easy one with his now 25-year-old daughter, Anu (Ademoye), or his never–met, trouble-maker son, Ayo Chukwu (Afolayan). And definitely not with his wife Ngozi

An appropriate evaluation of this movie that got selected to screen at the Calgary Black Film Festival is best captured in the words of cinemapointer; “While Gone isn’t the Promised Land, it is definitely running ahead of Nollywood & leading the way there”

It’s trending on Netflix. Go Watch am
