Information reaching us revealed
that the theme song for a narrative feature, “A Place in the Stars” has been
released.
A statement made available by one
of Nigeria’s pioneer film and TV Company and producers of the movie, Native
Filmworks Limited, revealed that the official movie theme song was performed by
a music maestro with the ability to transform everyday experiences and emotions
into beautiful storytelling, Jeremiah Gyang.
Gyang, a singer/songwriter and
multi-instrumentalist has contributed immensely to the entertainment industry
internationally and Nigeria in particular.
“The song was inspired by the
movie of the same title, ‘A Place in the
Stars’, directed and produced by respected film maker, Steve Gukas.
The movie is a riveting account
of drug trafficking; focusing on how fake and adulterated medical drugs are
being traded for billions of dollars.
Set in 2006 Nigeria, ‘A Place in
the Stars’ tells the story of Kim Dakim (Gideon Okeke), a young lawyer who gets
a client with a case that leaves him conflicted. He has information that can
save many lives if he passes it on, but he also stands to make millions of
dollars if he doesn’t. In a very corrupt country where everyone loves money and
no one cares how you make it, Kim sees this as his chance to make it big.
Problem is, Diokpa Okonwo (Segun
Arinze), the kingpin of the counterfeit medical drugs trade who his case is
against, doesn’t play nice.
The movie is scheduled to
premiere in Africa – Lagos/Abuja, South Africa, Kenya and in the West – London
and New York/Maryland later part of the year.
The movie will be available in
cinemas across Nigeria from November 2014.
