It’s an assured, energetic piece of epic filmmaking, one that worships how storytelling, oration, and folklore teach us about our past so we might change our present.

First look at Night of the Kings

A new trailer has been released for Night of the Kings, which is set to release February 26, 2021.

A young man is sent to “La Maca,” a prison in the middle of the Ivorian forest ruled by its inmates. As tradition goes with the rising of the red moon, he is designated by the Boss to be the new “Roman” and must tell a story to the other prisoners. Learning what fate awaits him, he begins to narrate the mystical life of the legendary outlaw named “Zama King” and has no choice but to make his story last until dawn.
