About Somewhere in Africa
In a town where blood thirsty militant subject making life simply unbearable, it is difficult to know when you will wake up to a brilliant morning sunshine which promises a day of solemnity. In the wake of the seeming normalcy of a capricious life, a new regime is established in Kimbala town: a superlative regime of Yusuf Mombasa. Thirstier and fiercer than his predecessors, the people of Kimbala are dumb by his ruthlessness. The strongest of men are hit down to noting more than murmur. The influential are coiled in their shells in total stillness and the civilians hide behind hypocritical facet of patriotism. Who will dare stop Mombasa? ( Chris Twum )
Directed by Frank Rajah Arase, Somewhere in Africa leans on a strong ensemble — Majid Michel, Martha Ankomah, Eddie Nartey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2011.
