About I Sing of a Well
A period drama set in the time of Mansa Musa, ruler of the Mali Empire in the early 1300s, and against the backdrop of the intra-African slave trade. The prince of a small kingdom makes potentially fatal decisions by stealing a poor man's bride-to-be and by forming an alliance with Mansa Musa, whose intentions may serve his own interests, but not those of the prince and his people
Directed by Leila Djansi, I Sing of a Well leans on a strong ensemble — Akofa Edjeani Asiedu, Jot Agyeman, Godwin Kotey — 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 screen titles of 2009.
