4th Republic now on Netflix

The political thriller 4th Republic is now available on Netflix. The film stars Kate Henshaw, Bimbo Manuel, Sani Mu’azu, Linda Ejiofor, Yakubu Mohammed and Enyinna Nwigwe and is directed by Ishaya Bako.

Speaking about the release of the film, director Ishaya Bako says, “We’re excited to share this film with the world. We’ve had some very interesting feedback from the screenings of the film at the cinemas, and especially at the campus tour we carried out at the end of 2019. This year has been a particularly tough one for everyone, for obvious reasons, one thing that hasn’t changed is that people are able to watch good entertainment from the comfort and safety of their homes. 4th Republic is a gripping thriller that is reflective of the Nigerian system, from our do or die politics to our ironic optimisms. It is one of the most important Nigerian films to watch”

4th Republic follows governorship aspirant Mabel King (Kate Henshaw) in the aftermath of a violent and fraudulent election that results in the death of her campaign manager Sikiru (Jide Attah).
