Master storyteller, cinematographer, producer and director, Tunde Kelani of Mainframe Film and Television Productions who is known for his culturally colorful and conscientious  movies rolled out his new movie “MAAMi” into cinemas in Nigeria. The film is a must watch which has gathered accolades at screenings and festivals, and now it is available to everyone in Nigeria. 

Synopsis: Single parent, MAAMi, and her young son are desperately poor. Gifted with a living heart, enterprising spirit and brave soul, she is the centre of her son’s world, until he longs for the father he has never known – a man with a terrible secret.

Set over a two-day period, leading to the 2010 World Cup, MAAMi is an inspiring story of a poor, conscientious single parent’s struggles to raise her only child, Kashimawo who eventually, rises to intrnational stardom in an English football club, Arsenal, and becomes a national hero.

MAAMi stars well known Nollywood faces such as Funke Akindele, Wole Ojo and Tamilore Kuboye. It also stars the fresh face of Ayomide Abatti, a new up and coming talent with special guest appearances by Yinka Davies, Kayode Balogun, Fatai Rolling Dollar and Biodun Kupoluyi.

Adapted by Tunde Babalola, from Femi Osofisan’s novel of the same name, this film about love, perseverance and fate unfolds through Kashimawo’s reminiscences of his hardscrabble childhood in the southern Nigerian town, Abeokuta.

MAAMi is presently showing in Silverbird and Genesis Deluxe Cinemas in Nigeria.
