PRODUCER and director, Bolanle Austen Peters and the cast of the upcoming film, ‘Collision Course’ have expressed delight as the Netflix premiere date nears.
The film is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on Friday, September 2, 2022.
On Saturday, August 20, highlighted how much the movie is well-anticipated when actors and crew members on the film as well as selected guests gathered in Lagos for a private viewing of the movie, which explores the impact of rogue law enforcement officers in Nigerian society and how their unenviable harsh personal lives is sometimes a factor in their official duties.
Austen-Peters, who personally picked the Best Film (West-Africa) award for the film at the 2022 AMVCA, said ‘Collision Course’ seeks to expose some of the underlying issues that force someone to turn against the very same people he swore to defend.
“I found out that every single person in the story had a back story that we all needed to understand, and at the end of this when you watch this movie you begin to understand that we are all victims, we are all brutalized by the system that we live in,” she said.
Inspired by the October 2020 anti-police brutality protests in Lagos, Abuja, and many other cities in southern Nigeria, the film has been screened to selected practitioners at 2021 All Africa Film Festival (AFRIFF).
