Experience ‘CEO’ and ‘Mokalik’ Now on Netflix!

This month at KAP HUB, we’ve been delving into the cinematic works of our visionary director, Kunle Afolayan, since 2009.

Films like “The CEO” (2016) and “Mokalik” (2019) stand as prime examples of his commitment to highlighting Africa’s richness and diversity.

“The CEO” is a mystery/thriller is centered around a group of corporate executives who embark on a retreat with the promise of one becoming the new CEO. Initially cordial, the atmosphere soon morphs into a cutthroat competition as each participant vies to outshine the others.

With a cast spanning Nigeria, Benin, Kenya, and beyond, talents like Wale Ojo, Jimmy Jean-Louis, and the iconic Angélique Kidjo showcase Africa’s rich talent pool.

The film’s critical acclaim, including nominations at prestigious ceremonies like the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) and screenings at renowned festivals like the Toronto International Film Festival, underscores its global impact.

MOKALIK

“Mokalik” offers an intimate lens, following 11-year-old Ponmile’s poignant journey in a mechanic’s workshop. Through Ponmile, viewers witness the beauty and complexities of Nigerian life firsthand.

The director expertly captures everyday experiences, from the camaraderie of apprentices to the mechanics’ skilled work.

Simi’s inclusion, with her soulful melodies, adds depth to the narrative.

Both films, now on Netflix, epitomize Afolayan’s dedication to authentic storytelling. “The CEO,” with its accolades and festival recognition, celebrates Africa’s cultural richness, while “Mokalik,” also recognized at the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) and premiering at prestigious festivals like the Pan African Film Festival (PAFF), delves into Nigerian realism. Immerse yourself in the heartbeat of Africa with these cinematic treasures, available for streaming on Netflix.
