“The Burial of Kojo” is an independent film that has critics buzzing around the world. It is also a New York Times critics pick, and will be available for streaming on Netflix starting March 31st. The film is a story of two Ghanaian brothers, wrapped in an intricate dance of revenge, remorse, survival, and hope. This film is a visual spectacle full of fantasy, social commentary and national pride.
This film marks the directorial debut of Samuel Blitz Bazawule a.k.a. Blitz the Ambassador, a Ghanaian artist in every sense of the word. Blitz has been speaking his truth for some time with four albums and four eps under his belt. On top of that he designs his own covers, directs his own music videos, and has created two short films: “Native Son’ in 2011 and “Diasporadical Triologia” in 2016.
To bring his vision to screens around the world, Blitz used his own money from his music career and ran a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds to complete his film.
“The Burial of Kojo” stars Joseph Otsiman, Kobina Amissah-Sam, Joe Addo, and Ama K Abebrese .
