Ramsey Nouah and Rita Dominic return in ‘77: The Festac Conspiracy,’ a gripping sequel to ‘76’ exploring African history and political intrigue.

The follow-up to political thriller ’76, which landed global distribution on Netflix and played at the Toronto Film Festival, it screened as part of AfroCannes, the buzzy event focused on African moviemaking and talent. ’76 was set after the Nigerian Civil War and followed a young army officer, Joseph Dewa, played by Ramsey Nouah, who is accused of being involved in an unsuccessful military coup. The team arranged a host of private screenings, effectively bringing a premiere-type experience to wealthy people and organizations, recouping the equivalent of thousands of individual movie admissions each time.
