Nollywood filmmaker, Robert O. Peters has released the official trailer for his latest African thriller, “Skeleton Coast,” which was also showcased at the Cannes International Film Festival.
The film follows the story of a private firm that faces accusations of environmental pollution due to its mining activities. They recruit a research team to locate a rare radioactive element, more potent than uranium. Tensions arise among the team members as they uncover the element and grapple with the potential consequences of the firm’s intentions. Realizing the potential danger the element might cause, they order the officials to leave their town.
The pan-African film features stars from Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Namibia, and Hollywood, including Inidima Okojie (Nigeria), Damilola Adegbite (Nigeria), Mawuli Gavor (Ghana), Thapelo Mokoena (South Africa), Tjuna Daringo (Namibia), and Cindy Mahlangu (South Africa), along with Hollywood veteran Eric Roberts.
“Skeleton Coast,” a collaboration between Nigeria’s Play Network Studios and Mondajila Studios, a Namibian film production company, is set on Namibia’s Skeleton Coast.
“This is more than just a movie; it’s a celebration of African storytelling and Ubuntu,” Robert wrote.
