It seems like each day, African movie stars such as Jackie Appiah and others are slowly gravitating towards their Hollywood dreams.
Turning Point is written and will be directed and produced by Niyi Towolawi and co-produced by Egor Efiok .
The movie is set in New York and it will explore ethnic prejudice amongst the various black communities in America (a la “Crash”).
It will centre around a Nigerian investment banker who bows to family pressure to abandon his American lover for an arranged wife from back home. His life gets messy and things turn upside-down when the marriage turns out not too rosy, setting off a chain of events that compels him to confront his reckless past.
