Country Queen starring Mellisa Kpilagat, Nini Wacera Melvin Alusa and Blessing Lung’Aho, is a simple and engaging drama focusing on real African issues from a Kenyan perspective.
The six-part drama tells the story of how a mining company, Eco RockEco Rock, run by vicious and conniving Vienne (Wacera) and the enforcer, husband Maxwell 1110(Lung'aho), are exploiting the vulnerable people of Tsilanga. A village where Akisa (Kpilagat), a city-based Events planner, hails from.
Akisa is the protagonist, and she, despite a successful career in the city of Nairobi, has her own trouble back home, where she has been estranged from her family. She is also in a serious relationship with married man, Maxwell. The conflict between Eco Rock and Tsilanga is echoed through Kyalo’s (Alusa) resistance campaign.
Country Queen is a well-scripted, well shot focusing on social issue with highlights of romance.
