Award winning Nigerian film director, cinematographer, and producer Izuchukwu Ojukwu has returned to film making, announcing plans for a new feature titled “Train From Kafanchan.”

Ojukwu’s return to filming has come following a 5-year hiatus and several weeks after his post Nigerian civil war drama “76” premiered on Netflix. Regarded as one of the best modern Nigerian films, “76” starred Ramsey Noah, Rita Dominic, Kanayo O Kanayo, Chidi Mokeme, and a host of many other stellar Nigerian actors.
