Orah was written and produced by Lonzo Nzekwe of IronFlix Inc., alongside Floyd Kane of Freddie Films and Amos Adetuyi of Circle Blue Entertainment. This is a story of a 15-year-old Orah Madukaku, who killed a man in Nigeria and then fled to Canada, leaving her son, Lucky, behind.
17 years later, Orah, who is an illegal immigrant, is found working as a taxi driver for an attorney and his Nigerian client, Bami Hazar. Orah’s work with Attorney Eli Pope and Bami Hazar includes international money laundering in a bid to help bring her son to Canada.
Their relationship turns sour after Hazar orders the murder of Orah’s son. This becomes the beginning of the revenge journey with Orah. Orah chose to bring Hazar to justify, however, legal options do not seem to be working as both Orah and her client are involved in illegal activities that may complicate the situation.
The cast in this flick includes Agape Mngomezulu, O.C Ukeje, Lucky Onyekachi Ejim, Morgan Bedard, Somkele Iyamah- Idhalama, Oris Erhuero, Christopher Seivright, and Femi Lawson.
