Tenacity
The colonial masters with their political maneuvers had exploited and converted the minds of the black and took off after granting the so-called independent which till today, is a myth.
But even though not completely granted, African leaders had already started to dominate their fellow brothers, meaning if completely granted the continent would have been in dismay.
Written and directed by acclaimed and award winning film director Musing Derick Tenn, popularly known for his 52 episode series Zintgraff And The Battle of Mankon, Clusters and 30th Day that earned him Best African Short film in London (ZAFFA), Tenacity centers around two kingdoms; Ndang and Ndangang with two contradictory leaders.
The two clans, migrated from different destinations and eventually met and agreed on settling on the same land with love and unity, were intermittent by whites who manipulated their minds for one clan to submit to another.
As the two could not work on such terms and because of the secret backup from the whites, it escalated into a conflict between the two. One leader accepted the local gifts (whisky, clothes, etc.) from the whites in exchange for his people and that went on until the other clan was resistant to selling his people for 'low grade' gifts.
The film was shot in the North West Region of Cameroon where one of the German Ethnic resistances were experienced by the Nso and Kom people during the colonial period.
With actors from Germany and Canada, Tenacity would soon be officially premiered. But for the meantime, get hooked up with the thriller below as the big fish leaves the water in some months to come.
