According to the Movie Director, Pascal Atuma, the movie is not just a comedy drama but it carries a lesson of note for bosses in treating their servants and maid (en) as they would prefer treating themselves.
This is not just going to Jamaica to create comedy or going to America. This is actually a strong comedy with a strong message behind it. It will show people how to treat their servant, the cook, gateman, driver and that cleaner that cleans your outfit. It is a message that shows people that you can actually treat them better.Pascal said.
Synopsis of the Film:
The movie follows the story of Okoro, a simple gateman who was going through the trials of the lowest class of working class families in Nigeria.
He was indebted to his landlord to the extent where he was dehumanized, lost a right to his privacy and could no longer enjoy the quietness of his home.
Battling with sleepless nights, an opportunity, out of the blues presented for him to travel to America, courtesy of a green card lottery entered for him by his long-term master’s nephew.
America, the land of the free and home of the brave beckons… but alas it is Donald Trump’s America with some strong-faced, nonsense Immigration officers, ready with their batons to defend the gateway to their great land by ‘any means necessary’!
The comedy and fiasco that ensures between Okoro and these immigration officers, and whether he succeeds in getting through immigration is better seen than told. ‘
