Tiwa Savage’s film ‘Water and Garri’ has taken the international entertainment scene by storm, ranking in the top 10 on Prime Video in 14 countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa. This success is not just a testament to Savage’s talent as a musician, but also a reflection of her prowess in the film industry.
The film tells the story of Aisha, a young and ambitious fashion designer who returns to her hometown in Africa after years of living in the United States. However, Aisha’s homecoming is met with a stark reality check as she grapples with the escalating violence and tension that has rocked her once peaceful community.
Director Meji Alabi’s masterful storytelling and the excellent performances by Mike Afolarin, Andrew Bunting, and Jemima Osunde make this film a must-watch for anyone who appreciates beautifully crafted narratives. The film was shot in Cape Coast, Ghana, which adds a unique African flavour to the story.
What sets ‘Water and Garri’ apart from other films is it’s beautifully crafted story that tackles important social issues, and Tiwa Savage’s involvement in the project only adds to its appeal.
In celebrating the success of the film, Savage announced in a press conference that she is already working on another script, which she promises to be special, although she refrained from giving away too many details.
