Adedimeji Lateef has revealed behind-the-scenes images from the upcoming film “Lisabi.” This movie portrays the story of the Egba Warrior farmer. Lisabi was a significant figure from Igbehin, originally from the Egba village of Itoku, who famously led the Egba people in their struggle for independence from the rule of the Alaafin of Oyo.
Lateef expressed, “I felt the importance of delving into our culture and traditions, and reconnecting with our heritage. With the decline in reading due to technological advancements, movies can be a more engaging medium to preserve our history. Who better to narrate our tale than us?”
“Lisabi” is executive produced by Adedimeji Lateef, produced by Adebimpe Lateef, and directed by Niyi Akinmolayan. The film boasts a cast including Femi Adebayo Salami, Odunlade Adekola, Ibrahim Itele Yekini, Ibrahim Chattah, De Salami, Odunlade Adekola, Ibrahim Itele Yekini, Ibrahim Chattah, Mr Macaroni, Mo Bimpe, Eniola Ajao, Liquorose Afije, and Lateef Adedimeji.
The movie will be split into two parts on Netflix: “Lisabi: The Uprising” premiering on December 27th and “Lisabi: A Legend is Born” in January 2025.
