Synopsis

The story of Amadi, a musician from Lagos who travels to São Paulo to track down his missing older brother Ikenna and bring him back home to Nigeria. Following the faint traces of Ikenna’s footsteps, he discovers that his brother was not the distinguished math professor he was supposed to be, but actually had contrived an intricate and nearly delusional series of schemes to accumulate wealth in Brazil. As the mysteries deepen, so too does Amadi’s attraction to this vibrant newfound culture—and to his brother’s Brazilian ex-lover, Emilia. As he closes in on his sibling’s whereabouts, Amadi is faced with choosing between his faithfulness to his family and the possibility of a new life in São Paulo.

Streaming Releases: Black is King and Beyoncé is Queen

July 31st, 2020

Black is King

The last week of the month is often the slowest for new releases on streaming services. Not only are people excited for the flood of catalog titles coming out at the beginning of next month, they’re also too busy catching up on shows that are about to leave to pay attention to new releases. This leaves fewer than usual releases this week. That said, while there are only three movies / TV shows on the main list, all three are worth checking out. Of these three, Black is King will almost certainly be the biggest release of the week. More...
