A Tribe Called Judah

Box Office Around The World

Filmplakat "A Tribe Called Judah" – Filmplakat "A Tribe Called Judah"

On three weekends in August, the Schlüter Courtyard becomes a meeting place for film enthusiasts from all over the world with summery drinks and snacks. The open-air festival invites you to talk to international film stars and presents six current cinema productions that are box office hits in their countries of origin but have not yet been shown on the big screen in Germany.

A Tribe Called Judah - Open-air cinema and talk with Funke Akindele

The crime comedy about a power woman who drives a motorcycle rickshaw in Lagos – and who has five very different sons of five men. The film has already grossed well over 1.5 billion naira at the Nigerian box office. The movie is also about money when the very Nigerian feminist is threatened by a serious illness and the sons have to show what they have learned from their unusual mother.

Jedidah is an unconventional rickshaw driver in Lagos who has five sons by five men, all from different ethnic backgrounds. Emeka, Adamu, Pere, Shina and Ejiro don’t have much in common apart from their love for their mother, but ‘Ma J’ knows how to keep her clan in line as a street-smart and self-confident matriarch – until her alcohol consumption necessitates costly kidney treatment. But where does the money come from? The sons are called upon to mobilise all their contacts and decide on extremely risky measures to generate money, because their mother’s life is at stake.

With this fast-paced crime comedy, power woman Funke Akindele has surpassed not only her own box office records in Nigeria as lead actress, director, screenplay writer and producer. She’s back again in the Schlüter Cortyard after last year’s screening of her super hit Battle on Buka Street.
