Directed by Valentine Edochie, the movie features popular faces like Stan Nze, Tana Adelana, Eso Díke, Blessing Obasi-Nze, and Chinonso Arubayi.
Speaking about the film, Adelana described it as something viewers can simply relax and enjoy. According to her, it’s the kind of content you just sit back and watch without stress.
Brothers in Arms follows the story of three friends, Chuka, Bola, and Jimoh, who start from nothing and build a successful business together based on trust. But as money and success come in, things start to change. One of them begins to lose focus, struggling to balance work, loyalty, and personal life, and this starts to affect their bond.
As problems begin to pile up, the friends are forced to look inward and go back to what first held them together, prayer, to save both their friendship and the business they built.
Ekanem said he’s really excited about the release and believes the film will keep viewers glued from start to finish. He also added that it’s a story many people can relate to, making it a good watch for friends, family, and colleagues. Oluwamayowa Lawrence produced the movie for John Ekanem and YET Studios.
