Lusala on its platform this Thursday. Also landing on Showmax is
Coerced Revenge, starring Xavier Ywaya.
Kenyan film Lusala is coming to Showmax on Thursday 17 December, 2020. The film comes at a time when there has been a surge of local production aired in international Tv platforms. This has exposed local actors to a wider audience the world over.
Lusala follows Brian Ogola (Poacher, 18 Hours) in the titular role as a young man whose life is interrupted by the demons from his childhood. To escape his violent childhood, Lusala runs away to the city where he’s adopted by an affluent family. Now working at a local mechanic shop, the time comes for him to be his own man, encouraged by his adoptive mother, who worries that Lusala could be a danger to her daughter.
