Son of the Soil trailer about?
Zion Ladejo, a former Nigerian Special Ops paratrooper, has built a quiet life in exile after a mission gone wrong. Everything shifts when news of his sister’s sudden death drags him back home to a Nigeria battling drugs, corruption and organised crime. The film – described by Nollywire as “Nollywood’s most ambitious action film yet” – features a breakout role for leading man Adoti, and captures the vibrant, edgy feel of the country’s criminal underworld. Gritty, violent and propulsive, with standout action set pieces, Son of the Soil has the adrenaline fuelled urgency of Blood Diamond and Man on Fire keyed into a tense Taken style revenge plot.
