These actors who have been gracing our screens and delivering powerful roles from time immemorial, are bringing their skills, talent and professionalism into this movie.

1929 tells the story of women of the then Eastern Region of Nigeria, with particular attention to the Ikot Abasi women of Opobo division, who protested against the law that mandated them to pay a percentage of their worth in taxes to the colonial government in the division. This protest against the law, escalated into a full-blown violence that claimed many lives.

The Producer, Ndy Akan says, “This is a film that requires lots of strength, grits and interpretation because it tells a story., a true life story indeed; and actors who would be able to channel the events on to the big screen and give a perfect interpretation to the roles to make it a wonderful and  powerful  experience were required., hence, our choice of actors. 1929 is a historical film with a narrative that will engage, entertain and educate. It is a must watch movie and I hope everyone cones out to see the magic we have created. ”
