The
first-ever Gambian martial arts action movie is expected to hit the market soon.
In
an interview with Bakary S. Sonko, second director of the movie, he explained
that “Deadly Revenge” is a storyline based on a lady called Cynthia, whose
brother was killed by his own gang for losing their drug, because they believed
he sold it and refused to give them their money.
He
added that the sister happened to mess up with another gang who wanted to kill
her, but instead of killing her they killed the boss.
In
trying to find justice, because the security personnel in the movie were going slowly
about their work, she took justice into her own hands.
According
to Sonko, the pre-production of the movie was done and they are now on
post-production; the movie is being edited and will come out before the end of
the year.
He
also explained that they teamed up with Taxon Karate School, and with other
well-known actors in The Gambia among them Monica, Papis Jobateh, and other
upcoming actors.
“Deadly
Revenge” is a story written by Gambia’s youngest film-maker, Bakary S. Sonko,
and Liberian actor and director Abdou Karim Ketuta. It is produced by Atlantic
Star Production.
Haddy
Bah, the main character is a Gambian actress and model, and also holds a black
belt in karate.
The
movie is directed by Abdou Karim Ketuta Jr., with Sierra Leonean Yusuf Jallow
as the editor.
