CEO and founder of Anthill Studios Niyi Akinmolayan has revealed new details of his latest project, Rainmakers.
The director took to his Instagram page to share a couple of behind-the-scenes shots of the production which he completed in 2022. Although the official trailer hasn’t been released, he stated that Rainmakers will make its debut on Prime Video on March 1, 2024.
The documentary shot in the south-western parts of Nigeria focuses on the rainmaker myth from the southern parts of Nigeria. Believed to have the powers to control the rain, Akinmolayan goes on trips to Ogun, Oyo and Edo to test the beliefs against scientific methods.
According to him, “I did all the necessary rituals and learnt a lot about rainmaking and the all-powerful Sango deity…There’s so much I’m going to share as we countdown to the release. Is rainmaking real or just a trick!! Find out soon.”
