‘Living in Bondage’ was pivotal to the birth of modern-day Nollywood. The two-part drama was directed by Chris Rapu and produced by Kenneth Nnebue and Okechukwu Ogunjiofor.

The film also began the ‘occult theme’ that dominated Nollywood in the 1990s and it starred Kenneth Okonkwo, Ngozi Nwosu and Kanayo o. Kanayo in their breakout roles.

The film tells the story of Andy (Okonkwo) and Merit Okeke (Nwabueze), a young couple facing harsh economic challenges that eventually pushed Andy to join a cult.

Members of the fraternity swore their loyalty to ‘Lucifer’ and killed their loved ones in sacrifices for wealth.

Andy met the demands of the cult and eventually became very rich. however, the nemesis that unfolded became the intrigues that define his ‘Living in Bondage.’

‘Living In Bondage: Breaking Free’ is Ramsey Noah’s directorial debut and was created by Play Network Africa in conjunction with Native Filmworks.

The movie is co-produced by award-winning producer, Steve Gukas, Dotun Olakurin, and Charles Okpaleke.

It also stars Nancy Isime and Munachi Abii among others.
