On the screen, the story centers around a young guy who must choose between his religious beliefs and the way he wishes to spend his life.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the South African entertainment sector is a force to be reckoned with, and we have seen a slew of promising projects emerge from the aforementioned business in recent months. Netflix has announced that they will increase the amount of time they spend on African projects, and the most recent project to be released on the streaming platform is ‘The Man of God.’
Directed by Bolanle Austen-Peters, the film is about a young guy named Samuel who struggles with the decision of whether or not to embrace his terrible religious upbringing and live his own life. Because similar events are occurring all across the world, the movie’s premise appears to be based on the world in which we currently live.
As a great addition to the streaming platform’s portfolio, which already includes incredible international productions such as ‘A Naija Christmas,’ The Forgotten Battle’, and Grudge,’ the film is a welcome addition.
