The 2019 film ‘Coming from Insanity,’ directed by Akinyemi Sebastian Akinropo, has earned a new screening deal with Showtime, a US television network.
The film will now be accessible to view on Showtime, according to an official release.
“We are super excited to announce that @comingfrominsanity will be the first ever Nollywood film to be screened on the @showtime in the USA,” the official Instagram announcement read.
The film, directed by Ibidolapo Ajayi and starring Gabriel Afolayan, Sharon Ooja, Damilola Adegbite, Dakore Egbuson, Ninolowo Bolanle, and Odunlade Adekola, follows Kossi, a 12-year-old Togolese smuggled to Nigeria and his climb to fame and money as a counterfeit kingpin.
