With the release of an official poster, the wait for Loukman Ali’s crime-action Brotherhood has yet been extended. Brotherhood, which is set to tell the story of twin brothers on opposite sides of the law in an emotionally-grounded story exploring familiar themes like the bonds of family, betrayal and love, will move from its original July 8 date to September 23, 2022

Loukman Ali shot to fame after his feature debut, a mystery thriller he also produced, The Girl in the Yellow Jumper, the first Ugandan film to be picked up by Netflix. Led by Jade Osiberu, GreoH Studios tapped Loukman in April to direct this pan-African production that has hired crew members from West Africa to East Africa and Southern Africa. In a previous statement by Loukman on the scale of this unique collaboration, he said, “This is the beginning of many firsts for African cinema. We are taking risks and hope to excel. The Nigerian audience and Africans at large should expect a Nollywood high stakes crime-action thriller like never before.”
