The Island

The Island movie was produced in 2017, and the first peek we had of the film was on a Youtube upload in November 2017 by Fresh Nigerian Movie Trailers, with the movie titled Death Island. However, Achivas Entertainment released the official movie trailer in May 2018, giving us a better idea of what to expect. The film follows the story of an army officer, Hamza, who is caught in the shadows of a shady military intelligence unit when he intercepts a conversation on weapons sale between unknown terrorists and agent. Enthusiastic about breaking the new intel to his superior officer, Hamza makes a discovery that is as terrifying as it is shocking. The executive producer is quick to point out that although the movie paints a picture of the kind of corruption in the country’s security system, its story, characters and situations are entirely fictional and a product of imagination and art. It also mentions that the film “will challenge patriotism amidst corrupt influences”. The Island is produced By Daniel Cole & Freda Francis and directed by award-winning director Toka Mcbaror.
