![]() The Blues Kingdom is a timely product pregnant with incisive messages to the adherents of age-old African traditional practices associated to female genital mutilation, breast-ironing and early marriages. Directed by Zack Orji and starring Clarion Chukura, Ivan Namme, Ngassa Xavier Ngunga, Queenta Eyong-Ashu Abor Magdalene among others, the movie tells the story of a Cameroonian emigrant “bushfaller” who decides to return home after a successful stay abroad. While in his native land, he falls prey to a traditional ritual he considers fetish and outmoded. His brother, a defender of tradition and custodian of the culture is helpless in a crisis that sets the village ablaze with fury. Due to the timely intervention of the forces of law and order, the situation is brought under control and perpetrators are sanctioned.
