COMING SOON: Force Empire

Tribe Nation Theatrical Distribution and Viensa Productions unveils an exclusive first look at Force Empire, the highly anticipated new film by Nigerian filmmaker and actress Ndy Akan.

Force Empire sheds light on the issue of sexual assault faced by women in the male-dominated police force and the workplace in general.

The film tells the story of DCP Mfon, portrayed by Nse Ikpe-Etim ( known for “Shanty Town“, “A Tribe Called Judah“, “A Sunday Affair”, “Glamour Girls”, “The Wait”), who is resolute in unmasking the perpetrator who assaulted and humiliated her protégé, ASP Halima, played by Enwongoabasi Ibom. Traumatized and fearful, Halima’s plight drives Mfon to expose the culprit and other corrupt officers tarnishing the Nigerian Police Force’s reputation, despite fierce resistance from the top brass.

The film also stars Richard Mofe Damijo (known for “The Black Book”, “Namaste Wahala”, “Postcards”,  “Merry Men”) who delivers a role as IGP Ejiro.

Segun Arinze plays AIG Omotosho, whose actions have far-reaching consequences.

Mercy Aigbe (“Ada Omo Daddy”, “Omo Ghetto: The Saga”, “Beast of Two Worlds”)  is also involved in the cast.

Other actors featured in the film include Tony Umez, Kunle Coker, Sonny McDon, Aniebiet Francis and Richard Johnson.

‘Force Empire’ is produced by Ndy Akan under her production company, Viensa Productions. The film is directed by Uduak Patrick.

In a statement, Ndy Akan said, “Force Empire is a film about justice. It aims to highlight and encourage the outstanding police officers within the Nigeria Police Force while also addressing the unfortunate actions of a few that have tarnished its reputation. The film reinforces a vital message consistently communicated by the leadership: that every officer, regardless of rank, will face consequences for any criminal behavior.”

Force Empire will be available in major cinema chains and independent theaters across Nigeria starting August 23, 2024.
