The landscape of digital entertainment is on the cusp of a dramatic transformation with the debut of “Slave Warrior,” a meticulously crafted web series shot entirely on location within the vibrant backdrop of Rivers State, Nigeria. Desgol Entertainment Worldwide recently unveiled this highly anticipated project to a global audience during a prestigious press conference held at the Hotel Presidential, Port Harcourt.
“Slave Warrior” boasts a stellar ensemble cast, featuring renowned Nollywood luminaries such as Segun Arinze, Kate Ezeigbo, Professor Ovunda, Jude Isichie, Gideon Okeke, and Tosin Adeyemi. This multi-million Naira production, a culmination of twelve years of dedicated development, is presented primarily in Pidgin English, offering a rich tapestry of narratives centered on African culture, ingenuity, resilience, and the enduring human quest for freedom and progress.
The creative force behind this ambitious endeavor, writer and producer Justice Onu, alongside Blessing Marvel and director Alex Joseph, has crafted a project with the potential to not only enthrall viewers but also etch its name in history. With a reported count of over 4,000 individual scenes, “Slave Warrior” stands as a formidable contender for a Guinness World Record.
The cast and crew underscored the strategic decision to film exclusively within Rivers State, highlighting the region’s abundant natural resources and dynamic cultural heritage. They championed the state’s potential as a premier and secure destination for digital content production.
The expansive casting process for “Slave Warrior” spanned seven African nations – South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda, Uganda, Cameroon, and Kenya – reflecting a determined commitment to assemble a diverse and exceptionally talented cast, capable of bringing this epic narrative to life with authenticity and power.
