Savage plays Aisha, a fashion designer watching her career take flight in the U.S. After 10 years, she returns to her native home when there\u2019s a death in the family. She soon realizes that things are not the way she left them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bouts of violence and tension have turned her homeland into something unrecognizable. As she reconnects with family, old friends, and her past love, she must learn to live with the scars and confront the guilt she left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shot on Ghana\u2019s Cape Coast, this feels like a drama with emotional stakes, and we can\u2019t wait for the first teaser or trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s no surprise that\u00a0Meji Alabi\u00a0sits in the director\u2019s chair. Aside from shooting a handful of music videos for Savage –\u00a0Sugarcane,\u00a0Get It Now,\u00a0Ma Lo<\/em>\u00a0– the Grammy award-winning, Nigerian-British director, filmmaker and photographer is behind a slew of popular Afrobeats hit songs as well, like Davido\u2019s\u00a0Assurance<\/em>\u00a0and Burna Boy\u2019s\u00a0On The Low<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Directing music videos and films share quite a thin membrane. Remember that Alabi worked with Beyonc\u00e9 on her Black is King<\/em> video project in 2020. So we are already in good hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So far, Mike Afolarin, Andrew Yaw Bunting, Jemima Osunde make up the cast list. While Afolarin from Nollywood has starred in shorts, telenovelas, and Ema Edosio\u2019s well-received\u00a0Kasala<\/em>, his feature in the Netflix series\u00a0Far From Home<\/em>\u00a0brought him into the proper limelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bunting, the Ghanaian actor, is known for his roles in\u00a0Dynamite\u00a0<\/em>(2023),\u00a0The Trap\u00a0<\/em>(2021) and\u00a0Cocoa Brown<\/em>\u00a0(2016). Osunde, on the other hand, isn\u2019t new to Nollywood screens, as many would remember her from her riveting role in Tope Oshin\u2019s\u00a0New Money<\/em>\u00a0(2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prime Video<\/em> picking up the film is arguably the biggest news at this juncture. Launched in the Nigerian market in 2022, the streamer has been on a forward momentum in commissioning original titles and expanding its local content library. A release date has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Water and Garri\u00a0<\/em>joins other preexisting titles like\u00a0Gangs of Lagos<\/em>,\u00a0LOL: Last One Laughing Naija<\/em>, and\u00a0She Must Be Obeyed<\/em>. Aside from Prime Video being the distributor,\u00a0Water and Garri<\/em>\u00a0is a project by\u00a0Unbound Studios<\/em>, a leading African production company and its subsidiary company,\u00a0JM Films<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Savage plays Aisha, a fashion designer watching her career take flight in the U.S. After 10 years, she returns to her native home when there\u2019s a death in the family.
